Gibson Jeff Beck "Yardburst" 59 Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar - Dark Cherry Sunburst

Jeff Beck is gone but never forgotten – widely considered one of the best guitarists in history, capable of playing virtually anything in his own unique, soulful style. And like Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton, Beck got his start playing the Yardbirds, making groundbreaking music on a ’59 Les Paul Standard, which he continued to use and share with the likes of Page and Keith Richards, as documented in many photographs.

The “YardBurst” is as indelible to Jeff Beck’s playing history as his Oxblood Les Paul. Its unique and highly identifiable traits include classic white bobbin humbuckers and a black single ply pickguard. This recreation is true to how it appeared during Jeff’s hallowed Yardbirds days, with a custom Murphy Lab aging treatment, a custom hardshell case, and case candy commemorating the life of the legend that is Jeff Beck.
