Christie’s to auction guitars from the collection of Jeff Beck
Over 130 of Jeff Beck’s guitars, amps, and ‘tools of the trade’ are set to go under the hammer in London on January 22, 2025, as part of Christie’s Jeff Beck: The Guitar Collection. The sale features some of Beck’s most-used guitars throughout his six-decade-long career, spanning from his Yardbirds era to his last tour in 2022.
Commenting on the decision to sell his prized possessions, Jeff Beck’s wife, Sandra Cash, said, “These guitars were his great love, and almost two years after his passing it’s time to part with them, as Jeff wished. After some hard thinking, I decided they needed to be shared, played, and loved again.
“It is a massive wrench to part with them but I know Jeff wanted for me to share this love. He was a maestro of his trade. I hope the future guitarists who acquire these items are able to move closer to the genius who played them.”
Included in the sale will be Beck’s so-called ‘Yardburst,’ a 1959 Gibson Les Paul best known for its role during Beck’s Yardbirds era. Now estimated to sell for up to £60,000, the guitar was originally purchased for £175 at Selmer’s in Charing Cross, London, in early 1966.
It was used on many key recordings, including his Jimmy Page-co-written solo track Beck’s Bolero, and his debut studio solo album, Truth.
Highlights from the collection will be on public view in Los Angeles from December 4 to 6, followed by a showing of the full collection in the pre-sale exhibition at Christie’s headquarters in London from January 15 to 22, 2025.
For more information go to Christie’s.
