I know some people have speculated about the next signature reissue possibilities. I say, why not a Jeff Beck? ( Would have to be a Proler/Beck??)

I know Gibson has done the Oxblood JB, but Jeff Beck was also an early proponent of the Burst.So what do you think about a Beck Burst? My only question is: which one would they make?
The Yardburst?

or
9 1864

or the stripped burst PT?

If Gibson was accurate enough looking on an 9 1864, I'd be in.
The top is my #1 favorite burst.
What do you think?

When I had my 1959 replica built, that's the exact top I went for. I still think the 9 1864 is one of the best looking Les Pauls and I think this is the guitar used on Truth, but not sure (it could have been the stripped one):

This was my main objective (wide flames etc), the 9 1864:

and modeled after this one too, the 9 1873:

I had a pretty close one, but sold it cuz I wasn't digging the shape of the 2000/2001 neck:

Maybe they would just make a Beck signature guitar to his liking, not based on anything prior.....he has been seen several times recently playing Pat Foley's reissue. He likes it a lot. Borrows it from time to time.

Sterling, your guitar is simply incredible.

An inspired by would be cool.

But I hope it would have that sick translucent flame like 9 1864, 9 1873 and Sterling's beauty.
I'm actually looking for a 2000 in the color of uriobob's old R9 too.
