From his ‘Yardburst’ Les Paul to his ‘Anoushka’ Strat, the auction of Beck's collection celebrates the guitar icon's trailblazing career – with one of his most famous guitars expected to fetch up to $632,000

“Another storied Les Paul in the collection is the so-called ‘Yardburst,’ a 1959 Gibson Les Paul best known for its role during Beck’s Yardbirds era. Now estimated to sell for up to £60,000 ($75,791), the guitar was originally purchased for £175 at Selmer’s in Charing Cross, London, in early 1966.”

£60,000 for Jeff Beck’s 1959 Les Paul? That has to be a typo.

Yeah, seems like there oughta be another 0 in there. If not, perhaps an investment opportunity. Got a spare $60k laying around?

Boy, that seems light on the price for a 59. Ranges for none Beck models range $50,000 to $400,000. Maybe they start it low to make it seem like people have a chance.

The Beck ‘59 Les Paul is the one he had stripped and left it natural. I’m sure there are pics on the internet, non stripped was real tiger stripey. Pretty sure he used an Esquire the whole time in the Yardbirds and switched to the LP for Truth. I may be wrong though, I often am.
