The Yardbirds are an English rock band that had a string of hits in the mid-1960s, including "For Your Love", "Over Under Sideways Down" and "Heart Full of Soul". While the group isn't necessarily known as one of the better known groups from their generation, The Yardbirds did serve an important function in the evolution of rock. Serving as a stepping stone for some of the greatest guitarists ever, the group is notable for having started the careers of three of rock's most famous guitarists: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page (all of whom are in the top five of Rolling Stone's 100 Top Guitarists list). This sunburst colored Stratocaster-style guitar bears the signatures of two of the Yardbirds' elite guitarist alumni, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton, on the pickguard. To have any one of these iconic guitarists on a guitar by themselves alone would be a feat, as both legends stopped signing guitars years ago. Two have two of them on a guitar, with room to add Page's should one be so lucky, is a rarity indeed. The guitar exhibits some light handling wear but is in overall very good condition. Don't miss the opportunity to add this relic to your collection! Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
