Historic Collection 1954 Les Paul Standard Oxblood

“A standard Les Paul just isn’t enough.” “I want a guitar that exudes a unique presence all its own.” This Oxblood model embodies the aspirations of guitarists who feel this way.

Legendary guitarist Jeff Beck passed away in January 2023, much to everyone’s sorrow. The original Oxblood was a refinished and modified version of the 1954 Les Paul he cherished, particularly during his *Blow by Blow* era. It’s still fresh in our memories that this guitar fetched an astonishing price of approximately 206 million yen
at a Sotheby’s auction.

This instrument faithfully reproduces that historic model. In addition to the “Oxblood” finish—which refers to the color of cow’s blood—it meticulously incorporates unique details such as Schaller Rotomatic tuners, a one-piece black adjustment cover, a logo-less toggle plate, a speed knob, a thicker neck grip, and a rear pickup mounted extremely close to the bridge.

More than just a reissue, its appeal lies in its practical, artist-approved build quality. Takahiro Matsumoto of B’z used an Oxblood model on the 2019 album *NEW LOVE*. It has since appeared time and again in his setups, and he has praised it as a “guitar that stays in tune even with a bar on the bridge”—a testament to its proven reliability.

With a color finish found nowhere else and a Les Paul that carries on the legacy of legendary players, this is a must-see not only for fans but also for collectors seeking a truly special instrument. The Oxblood exudes a one-of-a-kind presence. We invite you to experience its sound—one that resonates with legend—for yourself.
