Back in my university days, I remember chucking on some Jeff Beck with the intention of it being background music while I wrote an assignment. A grave mistake. It was his famous 2007 Ronnie Scott's gig, and having not heard much Jeff Beck before this, I had soon forgotten about the assignment and was transfixed by his other-worldly playing.

I have since accepted that my own playing won't ever get close to what Jeff could do, but Thomann's deal on the Epiphone Jeff Beck 1954 Les Paul Oxblood might help me feel like I'm at least a little bit closer.

Dubbed the Oxblood due to its brown/black refinish, Jeff Beck's heavily modded 1954 Les Paul is the most expensive Les Paul ever sold at auction, fetching an eye-watering £1,068,500 ($1,315,708).

Some may find the big neck a little tricky to play, but if you're at home with that and fancy channeling the spirit of the legend himself, this may be a perfect fit.
