    Thank you so much for this close up video. I didn’t count them but there seemed to be well over 12 guitars on view in your video which is great. The showing continues in UK during January leading up to the actual auction.
    It’s a joy to see this video, though it’s also mixed with such end of an era sadness RIP Jeff ❤🙏

    I found this video to be extremely depressing. I miss him. For those who are interested, there are videos of him going though his full collection, telling stories about them and playing them. This was at his home - I think in the attic.

    I never thought this would happen. I looked every so often. Every time I didn't see it I was relieved. Truthfully I don't think Jeff cared if they were sold or not. I know he already had a deal for the cars. He had them sold with the option to buy them back at the same price. This is very tough to watch.

  • @richshipley7893
    @richshipley7893 Місяць тому

    This is not just a bunch of guitars Mr. Beck owned - these are his workhorses. The ones that he played on albums and in concerts, the ones pictured on album covers. I get the impression he didn't have a bunch of gear just to have it. The modern Strat with the 2-point trem, Wilkinson roller nut, contoured heel, and reverse headstock was a common one to see him play in later years. I love the Tele with the forearm and belly carve like a Strat. I wonder if he did that himself with a sander in his garage. And the other white Tele I remember from a Seymour Duncan poster I had as a kid. And the Oxblood Les Paul from Blow By Blow. Sad that this is the last time they will be in one place - I'd pay just to see them in person.

    The white Fender Strat with the reversed headstock isn´t the same one, that he played in many shows. So this one here is probably number 2 (like the sticker on the side says) with another reverse neck.
