Gibson Custom Shop 1954 Les Paul Jeff Beck Oxblood Reissue (2004)

This guitar is a Gibson Custom Shop 1954 Les Paul Jeff Beck Oxblood Reissue, built as part of the Historic Collection.
It faithfully recreates the legendary Jeff Beck “Oxblood” Les Paul, and this example is an early reissue from 2004, which is becoming increasingly hard to find.

One of the defining features of a 1954 Les Paul is the wraparound (bar) bridge, which is used on this model.
Compared to a Tune-O-Matic bridge, it delivers a more direct transfer of string vibration to the body, resulting in a raw, open vintage attack, strong resonance, and natural sustain that many players associate with early Les Pauls.

Jeff Beck’s original Oxblood Les Paul was famously a modified 1954 P-90 model fitted with humbuckers, and this reissue reflects those unique characteristics.
Even details such as the gap between the rear pickup ring and the pickguard, caused by the altered pickup position, are accurately reproduced—showing the level of attention Gibson Custom Shop put into this model.

While similar Oxblood-themed guitars have been released later as limited artist models, most of them now command significantly higher prices.
This particular instrument shows some signs of use, which is reflected in the price, making it a more accessible entry into the Jeff Beck Oxblood Les Paul world.

Highly recommended for Jeff Beck fans, collectors, and players interested in the unique combination of a ’54 wraparound bridge and humbuckers, offering a distinctive Les Paul tone you won’t find in standard reissues.

There are noticeable buckle scratches on both the front and back of the body.
The guitar weighs 4.3 kg (approximately 9.5 lbs).
