Back on his New Year's YouTube livestream, Beato originally disclosed that he was collaborating with Gibson on an electric guitar bearing his name

He later teased some photographs of the factory and prototypes

Now that it is here, we can go into the specification

[{"selector":"#anim-55f54f3a-b441-4013-817b-66df819ec25d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-23.21867348639021%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It appears to be a Les Paul Special Doublecut with a satin nitro finish and a clever TV Mist Blue paint job

It's a brand-new appearance for the DC model that is a shade close to Pelham Blue

Beato describes how he has played Gibson guitars for a very long time

Two of his favourite guitars served as the inspiration for his new signature whip
