What did Beck play? A Telecaster or soemthing that sounded differnt than the Gibson? Or was it a Strat? Schenker played that very distinctive Flying V which very few people played.
Got me there. I'd have to go look at some video to tell ya.
Current day guitarists...how about Joe Bonamassa....local(sorta) boy makes good!
He is great- playing these days with my favorite singer Glenn Hughes in Black Country Communion!

Went and looked at some photos, and in most of them he's playing a strat. There's one circa 1968 where he's got a Les Paul. Lot of the sound comes from the guitar/amp setup too. Electric players are funny that way always tweakin' til' they get that "sound".
My friend Walt would spend an entire show tweaking his bass rig. By the time we were done playing he'd finally get it right.
Try to catch it on PALLADIA on cable, cuz YOUTUBE cuts are no good at all. If you haven't seen the BECK at Royal Albert or the earlier RAIBOW CONCERT videos, you really need to get your hands on them...good stuff...promise you wil like them. Try the library...they may have them.
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
I am not a guitarist but I have an ear. Jeff Beck was the best guitarist that served in The Yardbirds. Not to take away from Page or Clapton, but Beck is a talent all to himself. So flame me if you want but that is how I saw it as a young musician with an ear. I think Page matured to fruition in Zep, but as much as I admire Clapton technically and as a bluesman, I was never inspired by his ability to be creatively melodic the way Beck played.
Well see we can agree on something- the RECENT gig Beck did honoring Les Paul you can look here - strat or tele ?
Beck has a signature Strat is his honor made by Fender. Although MANY strat guys used Teles in the studio.

I remember listening to Beck's vinyl records years ago and he was playing something on a telecaster- it might have even been with the Honeydrippers and the sound was thinner and lighter and different than the strat.
