Eric Clapton is connected to the Fender Jeff Beck Signature "Yardbirds" Tribute Esquire, which was part of a 2006 auction at Bonhams. The guitar, a Jeff Beck replica model, was generously donated by Nicolaus Springer and signed by Jeff Beck.
"This is a Jeff Beck Esquire, an exact - as close as you’re going to get - model to Jeff Beck's exact Esquire. I mean it's down to the scratches and the nicks. This guitar sounds really good. He'll use this one on 'Chip Away the Stone' or 'Last Child', something that's got a lot of that Tele feel to it. I put 10s on this because its mostly for a rhythm guitar. If Brad is doing the solo, we'll use this for rhythm," says Joe Perry's guitar tech.
What we have here is a mighty-fine spin on Jeff Beck's vintage (and "heavily patina'd") '54 Fender Esquire, this one built on the Telecaster Deluxe platform and owned by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. This guitar has a nice'n'slim C-shape neck, a Mastery Bridge with electroplated brass saddles, and a really beautiful relic job that tips its hat to the wear on Mr. Beck's iconic axe. The neck position humbucker (which is almost always welcome in our world) is warm and full, bluesy as can be and with lots of output. The bridge pickup is typical Tele -- bright and clear. This guitar was definitely played a bunch. Some frets are a touch worn down, but this guitar is still plenty playable as is. Ships in a padded gig bag with a certificate of authenticity signed by Jeff Tweedy.
