Rock icon Jeff Beck's guitars are going on display in London before they are put up for auction

I had my eye on his 54 Les Paul when I was a teen. It’s referred to as the ‘Oxblood’ for its unique color. and is one of the most sought after Les Pauls also because he switched primarily to Stratocasters afterwards. If I remember correctly there are some nice photos of it on the back cover of the album Wired. Alas, I think it’ll be out of my price range.

He was from outer space, I'm sure of it. The sounds he could get out of a guitar were otherworldly.

I will never back down from the view that "Where were you" is the peak moment of the electric guitar and nobody will ever surpass it.

The sale includes a Telecaster-Gibson hybrid “Tele-Gib” valued at between 100,000 pounds and 150,000 pounds ($122,000 and $183,000) and Beck’s 1954 Sunburst Fender Stratocaster, valued at between 50,000 pounds and 80,000 pounds ($61,000 and $98,000).

I can confidentally predict that those two will go for much more than they are valued at.
