Alas, there was no interest in the video from the Jeff Beck Tribute.
So I deleted it.
Now here's a pic of the new Les Paul guitar that Billy played there.
Anybody here who can identify that guitar or explain what is written on it?
Whereas the fretboard has the LP Standard like inlays it has an LP Custom like
headstock binding. I remember many years back Gibson came up with a line of Standards
with headstock binding. Those guitars were sporting some unusual colors IIRC.

IMO that is a super under rated ZZ tune. Always loved it and Billy played this one so nice!! Thanks for posting!
Though it reads Gibson on the headstock, I'm pretty sure
that it is again custom made for Billy by John Bolin - owner and founder of Bolin Guitars.
For decades he made countless guitars for Billy and many other famous guitarists.

missed the video before this one. Forum membership/participation is way down in the last few years.

I'd like to see Beck tribute stuff. Thanks for posting.
