RICK BEATO LES PAUL SPEACIAL
Gibson has declared a second collaboration with YouTube star Rick Beato. The hugely famous instructor, maker and moderator has worked with the Nashville guitar goliath on a second completion for the Les Paul Special Double Cut that was uncovered the year before.
Beato has is giving his proceeds produced by his model to the Save The Music Foundation, which donates north of 15,000 instruments to more than 100 school and local area projects in the US yearly.
"Ultimately, I only agreed to do the project if we could donate the proceeds to a charity to support music for children," he said. "I'm a music teacher, and supporting access to music education is what my channel is all about."
The guitar continues as before fundamentally changed DC as in the past, enlivened by two of Beato's number one guitars, a mid 2000s TV Yellow Les Paul Special Double Cut and his Pelham Blue Les Paul Standard.
The principal change to the standard Les Paul DC is a 1/4" more slender body than, which as per Beato, gives it a SG quality which, he says "catches a portion of the wizardry of the 65 SG. "I feel the guitar's more slender body gives it more resonance."
The very playable Slim Taper-profile neck and a 22-fret, 12"radius Indian rosewood fingerboard - "Not too big and incredibly comfortable to play", Beato says. - in addition to a Graph Tech nut and acrylic dot inlays and truss rod cover embellished with Beato's signature.
Hardware is the usual, classic Gibson Tune-O-Matic bridge and the P-90s featured on the Blue Mist.
