A guitar belonging to the late, great Jeff Beck went under the hammer at Bonhams Auctioneers in London this week and it was a thrill to be invited to see this important instrument up close. 

This Graffiti Yellow Strat was the first prototype made by the Fender Custom Shop and was a vital step in the evolution of the Jeff Beck Signature Model. 

Take a closer look at this iconic guitar with me!

PS. The final sales price was a record for Jeff Beck memorabilia - congratulations to all involved and thank you to Bonhams!

Until next time, stay tuned
