SOLD! Jeff Beck Auction Highlights - the Oxblood Les Paul and the Tina Turner Jackson | Christie's

[@prajnachan333]

Beloved Jeff's instruments. A lifetime of excellence ✨️ Thank you, brother. You sent chills through me more than once live. 🎉

[@花-m6q]

I wish these guitars were on display in a museum.

[@yiannisclerides9782]

but the museum has to buy them -

[@Snarkapotamus]

Guitars are made to be played, not hang on a wall...

[@marzzz1]

The Oxblood, the TeleGib and the "Anoushka" Strat are the true gems of the collection. The Tina Turner Jackson Beck must have played only a few times...

[@dukeford]

JB used the Jackson to record "Flash", then toured with it.

[@marzzz1]

Okay. I wasn’t aware of that; hadn’t seen any pics of him with it.

[@russelmurray9268]

Check out Jeff and Stevie on tour n I forget the other tour but he actually played it quite a bit, the pink Tina ax

[@russelmurray9268]

I think flash was recorded with it

[@brianwells4507]

Collector prices are always very high. Take a Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster worth $4-7K. But if Eric Clapton used it onstage or even breathed on it😅? Put a $100,000+ price tag on it!😂

[@zekerivera7485]

Wow! I'm shocked that the Tina Turner Jackson sold for more than the "Yard-Burst" Gibson Les Paul! 350,000 vs. 320,000. In the auction it was stated that Jeff Beck used the Yard-Burst in the Yard Birds, the Jeff Beck Group AND was played by Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix!

[@jagmark10]

i was shocked too. Hendrix played it many times, same with Keith Richards. probably Pete Townshend too, they were all friends. Jimmy Page, Keith Relf, i wouldn't be surprised if Eddie Phillips tried it at some point since he was playing a Gibson ES-335 around that time. Clapton played it. George Harrison might have played it too. the Yardburst was the real Holy Grail of them all and should have ended with a much higher price. someone got a great deal that day!

[@susancorgi]

A bargain for it then wow

[@SuperBroncosguy]

Yeah but both Tina & Beck both touched that one. He might of been King She might of been Queen.

[@AnimaliaChordata]

Did she really say "Tiny Dancer" at 2:49 ?

[@wirehairs]

Oh man....

[@gus4u2c]

Private Dancer, and I hate to say that’s not one of Jeff Beck’s best guitar solos

[@BunnyWatson-k1w]

Jeff player guitar on the song.

[@BunnyWatson-k1w]

Private Dancer.

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

@@gus4u2c The Tina Turner connection was at least half of that selling price IMO.

[@barrieflix]

I suspect that the solo on Private Dancer is the most played, heard and sold of all of Jeff's recordings. "Nobody" knows it's him of course, but it must add some value for those in the know. And for his most successful session, apparently his only fee was Tina carving up his guitar!

[@nunyabusiness3920]

I can tell Jeff in one note 😂

[@정길주-w9p]

참 멋찐 기타입니다 😊😊😊

[@effess8698]

The auctioneer here is fantastic, but whoever came up with those weak estimates really didn't understand how highly regarded Jeff Beck was

[@paulrogers6037]

It's common. Christie's (and other auction houses) wants the prestige of saying they get multiples of auction estimates.

[@douglasalexander4348]

It’s to attract bidders, thinking they’ll get a bargain, and as above, to make out Christie’s look amazing.

[@classicraceruk1337]

You don’t understand auctions. The same thing happened at Dave Gilmour’s auction. The estimates are just that. They are used to bring the buyers in.

[@lazykipper]

You clearly don't understand how auctions work. It is absolutely standard for auction houses to lowball estimates. Standard all over the world.

[@JamesVandevanter]

😂no doubt ...I thought 'Oxblood' might surpass 1 million.

[@inqwit1]

There must be a training program for the body movements of the auctioneers.

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

Meanwhile I bought a Chinese made guitar on Amazon for $230 and it’s totally freakin’ awesome 🤩

[@ThomasDonnelly-u6l]

What difference if a Chinese made it or a predator at Gibson made it

[@nunyabusiness3920]

You could clone a new Jeff from the Oxblood, don't think he ever cleaned it.

[@johndef5075]

😂

[@zimtonia]

Ok... but can you Christie's mods upload again the complete auction of Mark Knopfler Guitar Collection from January 31st 2024, please??

[@jasperdekort5465]

It is not the guitar, it is the person playing it.

[@prajnachan333]

And these are the guitars he played. Untold hours of his energy ✨️ the instruments are valuable in themselves.

[@NicholasANappiNick]

I’ll take a new one 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

Wish I knew what pounds are

[@markniilo]

16 ounces.

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

@@markniilo pounds as in money vs dollars

[@Mike-fu9hu]

Somewhere around 1.25 dollar to the pound

[@markniilo]

@@JohnDoe-xu2vx 454 grams / pound.

[@DjDMA]

You're gonna freak out when you discover Google.

[@gph2193]

It's drama and it's real man, the show must go on. What a great guitar collection.

[@russelmurray9268]

Great auctioneers.

[@DEVILFISTS666]

Jim Irsay has entered the bid....

[@DavePocklington]

What is she babbling about? "The infamous oxblood". It is famous, there is no infamy about it. Tiny dancer is an Elton John song which neither Tina Turner or Jeff Beck had anything to do with. Private dancer is the song if you had bothered to do your research.

[@Siloguy]

For the money she is likely getting paid she could have done her homework on what even casual guitar and music aficionados know.

[@MrDersuUzala]

I hope they play J.B.'s Les Paul.

[@ThomasGilmore-fi6gb]

"There's a sucker born every minute" 😂😂😂

[@soundssimple1]

great auctioneer, the two who followed her with the remainder of the catalogue were a disappointment. shame she couldn't have lasted the whole 6 hours.........some great sales , I believe 8.7 million in total .

[@MP-is3md]

She’s a superstar in her own right, since a very long time.

[@arthurguitar]

To guitar lovers it’s like watching his children get sold off and separated. So sad.

[@scoooterbob2321]

Joe B. got a new to him Les Paul.

[@nanplabwern]

So where is the Hi Ho Silver Lining guitar, his greatest work.

[@jeffcarpenter7093]

It was probably the Les Paul that had the finish striped that he played on that

[@AlexandraHorn-t4b]

🎉👍👏

[@FourArtworksChallenge]

I like her voice 🎉

[@edwardcaulfield67]

I don't

[@lmontanaable]

Do we know where the money raised is going?

[@flashflame4952]

To his wife one would imagine.

[@WordDustNYC]

Read the intro of the catalogue, the wife mentions where the money is going. Download if needed, it really is pretty insane collection. Either way RIP, man!!

[@lmontanaable]

@@WordDustNYC Thanks , I found watching the auction intoxicating . I had to force myself to stop. I do miss him.

[@nunyabusiness3920]

His wildlife charity

[@SamNunezNYC]

Never to be played again

[@Siloguy]

Yeah I know the money is going to charity but it's distasteful seeing storied instruments by one of the greats going to a bunch of rich dilettantes.

[@nigelstansfield1644]

I kind of think Jeff would have wanted a gifted young guitarist to have had one or two of these.Maybe some acoustica went for a lit less pounds

[@bobabooey7088]

A fool and his money….

[@pjd417]

Joe Biden bought the guitar he's going to make a lamp out of it

[@digitalimager4946]

Can I have one of those pink ones, please, without the scratches? 🥸

[@lifelongfan07]

IBA-NEZ!😂

[@ThomasGilmore-fi6gb]

Some of them look like broken down wrecks. Are the foolish prices being paid just because they were owned by Beck? What are his old undershorts worth? The guitars were spectacular when J.B. was playing them. On their own, they're pretty ordinary.

[@Deep.Purple]

She was so bad I couldn't watch ---
