Wonder what Jeff thought of the Silver Sky? He has to have tried one at some point in the last 4 years or so.

I've read that Jeff's guitars didn't use the stock noiseless pickups.

According to John Suhr, he made three sets of custom noiseless pickups for the guitars Jeff recorded with and usually toured with.

In the interviews I've seen he really doesn't place much value in guitars past being a tool for his work , David Gilmour is similar... drives us Luthiers crazy

Here is Beck playing with Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars:

Be sure to watch what happens around 6:10 with Mick Ronson escorting Jeff to the front of the stage, seems to be pushing him into the spotlight! Fun stuff, but horrible video, audio is passable by some standards!!

Tim Pierce just did a vid on Jeff Beck and told some stories. One was Tim and Jeff were recording for a session and Jeff walked in with a guitar he'd just bought on the way to the studio and did the session without tuning, he used the trem bar to bend the notes to tune.

A common occurrence with Jeff.
