Gibson4life Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 LOOK AT THIS! I personally would have liked it to be a Goldtop/Black Beauty version. This (to me) looks more like a Epiphone version of the Jeff Beck sig then a '54 standard. http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-LimitedEdition-1954-Les-Paul-Standard-Electric-Guitar-?sku=581893 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 333 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 You're right, it is like a Jeff Beck, which started life as a P90 equipped '54, but was later modified with humbuckers. There were no humbuckers in 1954; a stock Les Paul would have been fitted with P90s from the factory. It's got the right finish, too, for a Jeff Beck (his was refinished), but not a '54 Les Paul. Oxblood wasn't a color option, then. I guess Epiphone doesn't want to pay to use the "Inspired by Jeff beck" name, LOL. I'd love to see Epiphone issue a true '54, though, with a gold top, P90s, '50s chunky neck, and the combination bridge/tailpiece. I don't know why they're ALWAYS naming guitars after certain years but mixing up the specs. Name aside, this looks like a nice guitar.
