Brad Whitford's Aerosmith, Les Paul Custom Shop Historic Reissue '54 , "Jeff Beck" Oxblood (#68). Authenticated.

WOW! Here's a rare opportunity to own a piece of history from the greatest American hard rock band ever.

After 50 years in Aerosmith, and a lifetime infatuation with guitars and amps, Brad Whitford accumulated so much gear that it’s overflowing his warehouse. He used this gear to create some of the most iconic rock and roll of our time. He selected over 170 of his precious guitars, amps and speakers and asked my help in finding them new homes with players and fans who will appreciate them as much as he does.

Serial Number: 48067

Another spectacular rock guitar from the Brad Whitford collection. Here's Brad's well used 1998 Custom Shop Historic Reissue of the '54 Gibson Les Paul that Jeff Beck played during his 1975 Blow By Blow era. The popularity of this guitar would later inspire the Jeff Beck Signature Model which is virtually identical.

Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. 1950’s rounded neck profile.

Brad played this guitar with Aerosmith circa 1999. See and hear Brad playing this actual guitar in Aerosmith's Millennium Countdown Concert video from Osaka Japan below. Check out Brad's solo at about 42:50 to see why he's considered of the greatest (however unsung) guitarists in rock.

There are visible signs of wear on the front and back of the guitar, acquired in live performances with Aerosmith, but nothing that gets in the way of it playing beautifully. The guitar weighs 9.5 pounds.

Acquired directly from Brad Whitford. Brad's guitar tech personally inspected the guitar. He adjusted the neck, polished the frets, oiled the fretboard, sprayed the pots and installed new strings. The guitar is in excellent working condition with no notable issues.

The guitar is identified by an Aerosmith inventory tag on the headstock.

Includes a hardshell case, one of Brad's custom Aerosmith guitar pics and a certificate of authenticity signed by Brad Whitford.
