A Legend Reborn: The Jeff Beck ’54 “Oxblood” Les Paul
This isn’t just a guitar; it’s a piece of rock and roll history. The Epiphone Jeff Beck “Oxblood” 1954 Les Paul is a stunning tribute to the iconic instrument that fueled some of the most groundbreaking guitar work of all time. From the moment you pick it up, you can feel the spirit of Beck’s raw, expressive playing. This guitar is built to be played hard.
Crafted in partnership with the Gibson™ Custom Shop, this is the first-ever official collaboration between Epiphone and the rock legend. The attention to detail is just staggering. They nailed the custom, chunky “Large C” neck profile from Jeff’s original, giving you a substantial, yet comfortable, handful of pure tone. The single-piece mahogany body and maple top are the classic recipe for endless sustain and resonant warmth, all wrapped in a deep, moody Oxblood vintage gloss finish that looks like it has stories to tell.
Tone That Blows Minds
Under the hood, this Les Paul is packing some serious heat. We’re talking a pair of Gibson Custombucker pickups, the same PAF-style humbuckers found in Gibson’s highest-end historic reissues. They deliver a universe of tone, from throaty, articulate growl at the bridge to warm, vocal-like sweetness in the neck position. The electronics are top-shelf, with CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors, ensuring every ounce of that pickup magic reaches your amp. This axe doesn’t just sing; it roars.
Built for the Player
The hardware is just as impressive. A Gibson Historic aluminum wraparound bridge provides unparalleled string-to-body resonance and a slinky, responsive feel under your picking hand. Grover Rotomatic tuners keep your tuning rock-solid, no matter how far you bend. Every detail, from the aged mother-of-pearl inlays to the ’59-style pickguard, has been meticulously recreated. It even comes with a vintage-style replica strap and a hardshell case to complete the package. This is your chance to own a slice of history, built for the modern player.
