Musicians, collectors, and fans have a unique opportunity to acquire instruments once owned by the legendary guitarist Jeff Beck, as they are set to go up for auction at Christie's. The collection, comprising over 130 items, including 90 guitars, from the late Yardbirds and Jeff Beck Group guitarist, who passed away in January 2023 at the age of 78, is valued at more than 1 million pounds ($1.3 million).
Among the standout pieces is a 1954 Gibson Les Paul in oxblood color, purchased by Beck in Memphis in 1972 and prominently featured on the cover of his Grammy-winning 1975 jazz-fusion album 'Blow by Blow.' This iconic guitar is expected to fetch between 350,000 pounds and 500,000 pounds ($450,000 and $640,000) at the auction.
