00:00So here is the iconic collection of one of the holy trinity of British rock guitars.
00:27And Jeff Beck is right there within them.
00:30It is Jeff Beck.

00:32It is Eric Clapton.
00:35Here's the collection in its entirety, and it represents his full performance career.
00:42Well, the top lot in our auction is the 1954 Gibson Les Paul known as the Oxblood, which
00:51is behind me on the stage in the center.
00:53It's estimated at 350,000 to 500,000 pounds, and it is actually the third Gibson Les Paul
01:00that Jeff bought in late 1972 in Memphis while he was there on tour with Beck, Bogart and
01:07Appies, his power trio.
01:09And it's iconic because as soon as he bought it, it was the only guitar he played for the
01:15next two, three years.
01:18To the right of the Oxblood is a completely unique hybrid guitar known as the Telegib,
