Jeff Beck shouldn't really play rockabilly. He should leave a lead guitar to Higham who is one great rockabilly lead guitarist. Beck has a hard time to keep in tempo on this one, you can hear he 's too late on the licks.
@moriscengic no he is not my friend...this is how the song is played....listen to jeff beck cd called crazy legs it's a homage to cliff gallup........and jeff is great on it.........it is a shame though that we didn't hear more of darrels superb playing on this dvd
The guitar Jeff is playing is a Gretsch Duo Jet 1955 6128 with factory fitted Bigsby (nowadays equivalent would be Gretsch G6128DSV with the stationary Bigsby handle and fidelatone/dynasonics pick ups). The orange guitar at the back by an amp is a Gretsch Chet Atkins G6120 (could be original 1955) with Eddie Cochran mods (gold paint scrapped of the back of the pickguard and Gibson P90 neck pick up instead of fidelatone/dynasonic pick up).
@BCblaster1 the original Gretsch 6120 chet atkins is orange with western decor, hollowbody 16" width. The later 6120 (90's 2000's) come in different colours.
@redfestiva it's a Gretsch 6120 with the Eddie Cochran modifications. The Gretsch duo jet is not a real solid body guitar. The body of the guitar is not plain.
Just to make sure on this.....it's not a Stray Cats number!!!!!, it was recorded by the mighty Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps [1956] - Cliff Gallup on lead guitar [a Gretsch Duo-Jet], who was Jeff's prime influence. As with most of Vincent's second album, Gallup was playing through Grad Martin's Standel. DT

Look at Jeff playing that Gibson Black Beauty. And he's dusted off his pick! Haven't seen him use one for ages.
