Yes, Now You Can Own and Play Jeff Beck's Guitar

There are few bigger names in the entire guitar world than Jeff Beck! His career spans over 40 years and includes many hits, including a number of influential singles with The Yardbirds. As you can imagine, this is a musician that can play any instrument he chooses - and he chooses the Fender Jeff Beck Artist Series Strat. That's right, the same guitar you can own and play. You'll notice the neck shape is a softer "C" shape and not as large or deep as Jeff's previous choice. The guitar features the Fender Special Design dual-coil ceramic Noiseless pickups, a contoured heel for easier access to the higher registers, and straight-ahead Strat guitar five-way switching.

Just like Jeff's Own Guitar

You might think that a famous guitarist like Jeff Beck would pick some amazingly figured maple and ash, but in truth, Jeff prefers to stay with a fairly basic Strat design. Once you play it, you'll see why he never really asked for anything more (though Fender did build him a custom "one-off" with a special paint job that honors Jeff's love of hot rods). You start with a lightweight alder body with a Surf Green polyurethane finish and three-ply white pickguard and three hot, dual-coil ceramic Noiseless pickups. If you've heard Jeff play, you know he really works the tremolo unit hard, so this Artist Series instrument comes with a modern American two-point synchronized tremolo for outstanding tuning stability. Bend notes or entire chords up or down and the guitar stays in tune!

Screaming Hot Strat Sound

The original Strat had three single coil pickups, so it was able to produce sounds that no other guitar could deliver, particularly once players discovered they could lodge the three-position blade switch in those "in-between" positions to access neck / middle and bridge / middle pickup combinations. These were often erroneously referred to as the "out-of-phase" settings. The Jeff Beck Strat comes standard with a modern five-way blade switch, making it easy to access all the pickup combinations. Three dual-coil ceramic Noiseless pickups deliver a searing Strat sound, but otherwise there are no special tone circuits since Jeff's fingers produce the outrageously diverse range of timbres, from crystal clear to smoking hot. And remember, Jeff believes that "guitar picks are for sissies." It's certainly hard to argue when you hear him play.

Fast Playing Maple Neck with Special "C" Shape

Leo Fender wasn't afraid to "think outside the box" when it came to guitar designs - after all, he was an engineer, not a guitar player. In the 1950s and well into the 1970s, the blond natural maple neck became almost synonymous with Fender guitars. The Jeff Beck Stratocaster comes with a one-piece maple neck and a slightly warmer-sounding rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and Jeff's personal favorite "C" shape, allowing you to really dig into the strings. In keeping with contemporary player preferences, the fast playing neck is finished in a smooth satin polyurethane.

Flawless

I titled this review "flawless," because of the guitar itself, and Sweetwater's unparalleled customer service. The pickups have a vocal quality, and are up to covering a wide variety of sounds and styles. It really sings! Whether you're playing classic rock, punk rock, surf rock, or just plain rock, this guitar covers lots of sonic bases. Clean, dirty, and raunchy tones are all at your fingertips, with amazing clarity. The tuning stability is excellent…even the temperamental G-string. The neck is a joy to solo on, or grab chords with. This is a well-made guitar that players of all stripes will enjoy.

Beautiful Guitar!

So my wife picked out this guitar for her to play and we ordered. As usual Sweetwater rocks with the quick service even during the COVID life. Had them set up the guitar for her and they got it mailed out quickly. This is one beautiful instrument! It has a beautiful neck that is super slick and the pups have a nice bite to them. Sweetwater polished up the frets and it plays like a dream. Overall it is a very solid guitar that I may have to "borrow" from time to time.

Jeff Beck Stratocaster

This Jeff Beck Stratocaster is the best guitar I've ever owned, no set-up necessary, straight out the box. The neck is comfortable, smooth, just fantastic. Stays in tune great, all around high quality instrument. Been playing since early 70's and have a few other Fenders, and Epiphones which are great, but this is definitely a cut above! Thank you Fender and Sweetwater.

Love my baby

So smooth it plays itself. I sound cleaner with little effort.

One little tweak and it becomes EVERY Strat

This guitar is amazing on it's own but I have to admit that I wished it was a little more "Stratty". The noiseless pickups are kind of thick ( for lack of a better word) and kept me constantly EQing the heck out of them to pull the chimy sound we all know and love. I was just about to change out the pickups when I thought about reversing the polarity of the middle pickup. And voila! I not only had the shimmer but I had the rich Jeff Beck tone as well.
I loved this guitar. Now, I can't see myself parting with it Ever.
