This unique Duesenberg signature guitar was commissioned by Johnny in May 2019 to be duplicated and presented as a birthday gift to his good friend Jeff Beck, who was thrilled with it when he first played it. The model was originally presented at Namm 2014 as a limited edition of 52 models, played and signed by Johnny himself.

The #1 is and remains his personal guitar, the only one with a Duesenberg tremolo (tremolo = lever on the tailpiece of the guitar that can be used to create special sound effects). Nathan Fawley of Duesenberg USA, who handled the special request for Jeff, had kept a spare body and top from the original production run for potential damage, making a duplicate outside of the original edition possible. It was assembled at the Duesenberg factory in Hanover and then delivered to Johnny.  It is now one of two existing models with a Duesenberg tremolo.

When this guitar was also auctioned off at Christies on January 22, 2025, it achieved a price of 36,160 euros. In total, Jeff's guitars (including guitars such as his Anoushka, the Oxblood and the one signed by Tina Turner) fetched 10.3 million euros.
