Meet “Becka,” a 2008 Gibson Custom Shop 1954 Les Paul Reissue that has been thoughtfully refined to deliver a truly vintage-authentic playing experience. Finished in the iconic Oxblood—a color forever linked to Jeff Beck’s legendary '54 Les Paul—this guitar stands out with its deep, rich patina and unmistakable presence.
FEATURES:
- 2008 Gibson Custom Shop 1954 Les Paul Reissue
- Striking Oxblood nitrocellulose finish, inspired by the classic Jeff Beck model
- MojoAxe compensated wraparound tailpiece for improved intonation, sustain, and vintage-correct feel
- Neck reset using traditional hide glue, the same adhesive used in original 1950s Gibsons, ensuring optimal resonance and historical accuracy

Every guitar has a story, and Becka is no exception. From the moment we first saw this 2008 reissue, we knew an Oxblood finish and uncompromising attention to detail would make it a standout. The neck reset with hide glue mirrors the construction methods of the golden-era Gibsons, while the MojoAxe compensated wraparound tailpiece brings modern playability to a vintage design. The addition of Retrospec parts ensures every aspect of Becka honors the original 1954 Les Paul’s legacy.
Whether you’re drawn to its historic roots or its upgraded playability, Becka is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Les Paul, reimagined for today’s discerning player.
