As with Eric Clapton, most people think of Jeff Beck as a Strat player now.
But in the late ‘60s and early-‘70s, the roar of Beck’s ‘Oxblood’ Les Paul had its own power.
Says Beck: “In a small band, Les Pauls had a big powerful thick voice through a Marshall that no other guitar had.” Gibson reissued a limited-edition replica in 2008. Watch Beck talk about Les Pauls here.
