Guitar Icon Jeff Beck Talks and Demos Some of His Amazing Guitar Collection— Video

 

In 2011, electric guitar pioneer Jeff Beck sat down to discuss and demo a handful of the favourite and most important guitars that he has come to own over his five-decade-long career to date.

Taken from the bonus section of Beck’s DVD release Rock ‘n’ Roll Party, the near 15-minute-long clip begins with the story of his once beloved Fender Esquire, which he traded for a (very unusual at the time) humbucker fitted Fender Telecaster with luthier and pickup specialist Seymour Duncan.

Other guitars that get a mention are his 1956 Gretsch Duo Jet and 1954 Fender Tele, which he gives us a few bars on, a vintage Stratocaster given to him by John McLaughlin and more.

The full clip can be seen in the video below.
