Guitars used by Jeff Beck on Rock 'n' Roll Party - Honoring Les Paul
Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars
Avg price: $3,324.00
"'The ES-175 is a standard reissue, in blond' Foley continues. 'Jeff was doing a Scotty Moore tribute and wanted to use kind of a rockabilly guitar. We loaned him a 295 and a 175, and he took to the 175, which is on the cover of the Rock ’N Roll Party DVD.'" - via Vintage Guitar
An interview with Beck in 2010:
I’ve got a 175 Gibson which I’ve never used yet partly because the sit in with B.B. King has been a bit erratic. One night he says, ‘Yeah,’ and the next night he doesn’t feel up to it. And so I never really got into playing it. I was gonna use it on his set, just so I could play the complete style. But because I’m suddenly thrust into his music, with his band, I need to have some comfort line, you know what I mean? So the Strat is the thing that stayed. And also I didn’t want to get feedback from the hollow-body guitar. You know after this big build up I walk out and go (makes feedback noise). Didn’t want that. (...) I played it for a tribute to Sun Records. I bought it especially – well, actually the guy gave it to me – ’cause I rented it so many times he said, ‘Look, you might as well have it.’ And I did a thing with Chrissie Hynde on it, “Mystery Train.” I wanted to get the Scotty Moore tone. So I kept it. It’s a beautiful thing. [Editor’s Note: Beck and Hynde teamed up on the 2001 release Good Rockin’ Tonight: The Legacy of Sun Records.]
An interview with Beck's guitar tech, Steve Prior, in 2010:
We’ve got a big body Gibson ES-175, ’cause he thought that might be something he might be playing, cause he guests with B.B. from time to time. And they’re all on big Hofners, Gibsons obviously Lucille. And then the 175 that Leon (Warren, B.B. Kings long-time second guitarist) plays.

Beck continues to use Marshalls, specifically a JCM2000 that supposedly shares very little circuitry with retail models and that he boosts with a Klon Centaur. The man has also enjoyed a flirtation employing a pair of dimed Fender Pro Jr. amps, and let's not forget his trusty Magnatone models.
