Gibson Limited Rick Beato Les Paul Special Double Cut, TV Blue Mist

Gibson Limited Rick Beato Les Paul Special Double Cut, TV Blue Mist Overview

Superb signature solidbody electric guitar from the renowned producer, guitarist and YouTube personality.

Signature Model

This limited-edition Les Paul Special pays tribute to respected producer, songwriter and educator Rick Beato. From working on bestselling records by Shinedown, Needtobreathe and Parmalee to creating one of the most popular music-based YouTube channels, Rick Beato has established himself as a highly-regarded musician with an expansive knowledge of the art. Alongside its distinctive look, this signature LP Special boasts a range of special appointments that reflect Rick’s love of the electric guitar.

Special Finish

At the heart of the Rick Beato Les Paul Special is a double-cutaway Mahogany body that’s carved to a slightly thinner profile for a lighter and more comfortable playing experience. It’s well-suited to gigging guitarists who play long shows and want easy upper fret access. Mahogany is a staple Gibson tonewood that’s praised for its juicy mids, warmth and singing sustain.

The body is coated in a unique “TV Blue Mist” nitrocellulose finish that was developed alongside Rick Beato himself.

Rounded Neck Profile

The Mahogany neck features a Rounded profile that’s similar to what you’d find on a '50s Gibson. Players who love a chunky, substantial-feeling neck that fills the hand will adore the way this neck feels. A smooth Indian Rosewood fretboard and 22 frets ensure easy chording and lead work wherever you are on the neck.

P-90 Pickups

Gibson have equipped the Rick Beato signature Les Paul Special with a pair of classic P-90 pickups. The bridge delivers a bright, punchy growl with crisp note definition whilst the warmer neck pickup is ideal for rich, smooth tones. With individual volume and tone knobs, you can dial each pickup in separately for quick transitions between two distinct tones.

Premium Appointments

Other appointments include a rock-solid Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece for effortless intonation adjustments and a truss rod cover adorned with Rick Beato’s signature. The guitar is presented in a robust Original Series hardshell case, keeping your pride and joy safe between sessions.

Whether you’re a fan of Rick Beato, want a Les Paul Special with a unique look or simply appreciate well-made, great-playing electric guitars, this model is worth your attention.
