Only 50 Jeff Beck 'Oxblood' Les Paul repros...

...seen at the recent NAMM shows, will be made/sold.

Not interested in the price, as I'll never afford one, but always wondered why virtually no LP's are made with wrap around stop tailpieces? Yes, intonations problems, but they sure sound great otherwise.

I see that PRS is starting to issue solidbody guitars with a calibrated wrap/stop, that looks quite sweet as well.

The PRS McCarty model is just this. The singlecuts are even closer, that's why Gibson tried to sue them out of existence.

Gibson stopped using the one piece bridge/tailpiece on higher end models in '55 or '56. Beck's "oxblood" LP was a '54 which had humbuckers installed in place of the original P90s.
