The Gibson Rick Beato Les Paul Special Double Cut electric guitar gives you a distinctive instrument designed with input from the legendary producer and educator. The double-cutaway mahogany body is slightly thinner and lighter than a standard Les Paul, providing enhanced comfort during long sessions. The rounded mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard feel familiar yet improved under your hands.

Double-Cutaway Mahogany Body

The Rick Beato Les Paul Special Double Cut has a double-cutaway mahogany body that's slightly thinner and lighter than a traditional Les Paul, making it ideal for long sessions. The mahogany construction gives you rich, balanced tone with punchy lows, warm mids and crisp highs. The double cutaways provide comfortable upper-fret access, while the satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish enhances resonance and protects the wood.

Rounded Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard

The rounded mahogany neck has a profile between 1950s and 1960s Les Pauls for a fast, playable feel. The Indian rosewood fingerboard has 22 medium-jumbo frets that intonate well for chords and solos. The neck joins the body at the 16th fret, giving you the articulation and sustain of a set neck with the upper-fret access of a bolt-on.

P-90 Pickups for Classic Tone

The Rick Beato Les Paul Special Double Cut features a pair of P-90 pickups for definitive 1950s rock and roll tone. The P-90s have an aggressive, crunchy sound that cuts through a mix, perfect for hard-driving rhythms and searing leads. They capture the musicality, clarity and bite that Rick Beato demands in the studio and onstage.

High-Performance Hardware

This Les Paul Special has a Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for solid tuning stability and sustain. Premium Grover tuners keep your strings in tune through divebombs and string bends. CTS pots let you dial in the perfect amount of output and tone. An included hardshell case protects your investment and keeps the guitar safe when traveling between studios and gigs.

Exclusive Sparkling Burgundy Satin Finish

The satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Sparkling Burgundy Satin was developed with input from Rick Beato. Its deep, shimmering color and soft satin sheen highlight the mahogany grain beneath. Rick's signature on the truss rod cover marks this as an exclusive, limited instrument made to his specifications.
