Of Beck, Stratocaster & Duncan

We all know Jeff Beck, if you don't, you're most probably new to the electric guitar...

Fender made him a signature Stratocaster in the '90s but he declined putting his name on the instrument, according to him, he's not worthy of such an attribute (oh, goodness!!). However, the guitar continued its existence & was known as the Stratocaster Ultra (pic above).

Even his signature Seymour Duncan pickup was renamed 'JB' instead of spelling out his full name. Some people just want to be left alone...
