Here's a one-off guitar originally built for Jeff Beck in 1992 by UK luthier Steve Acworth. Jeff Beck famously has a passion for hot rod cars, so it should come as no surprise that the guitar reflects this in its design. You can find more information on Steve's website, and also info on his other guitar builds, many of which are quite intriguing (e.g. Formica-topped acoustic guitars which apparently don't like having a bridge glued on for long, sitar guitars, and an amazing looking instrument called The Multiharp).
Quite why Jeff Beck doesn't still own the Ford '34 Coupé guitar is not explained, but the man himself has signed the guitar, and it is currently being offered for sale on eBay with a whopping Buy It Now price of £21,500.
Thanks to Ken for bringing this guitar listing on eBay to my attention.

- Stunningly Subtle Musicianship Form Jeff Beck
I guess I have been living under a rock because I didn't hear anything about this amazing young Australian gal Tal Wilkenfeld who was playing bass with Jeff Beck for a few years. I stumbled onto this nice HD Recording of them playing at Ronnie Scott's...
- Univox 1226 Tube Head And Cabinet In Dallas For $350
You'll see pics of these Univox amps on stage with Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page circa 1971-1972. They were hip for a while until Jeff blew his up on stage (like he always did) and he moved on to another amp sponsor. These "Blue" Univox amps still have...
- Jeff Beck, Back In My Life.
I first heard Jeff Beck as a teenager on an old vinyl copy of Wired, his second hit jazz-rock fusion album from 1976. I loved fusion and was sad to see it go out of style in the eighties and even be the target of derision from critics (remember the "fuzak"...
