2023 Gibson Rick Beato Les Paul Special Double Cut DEMO – Sparkling Burgundy Satin w/ OHSC + Case Candy

Up for sale is a clean 2023 Gibson Rick Beato Les Paul Special Double Cut DEMO in Sparkling Burgundy Satin, weighing just 6 lbs 7 oz and including the original hardshell case and case candy.

This is a great choice for the player who wants a lighter, more comfortable USA-made Gibson with the raw, open response of P-90s. The Rick Beato Les Paul Special Double Cut keeps the direct feel and attitude of a Les Paul Special, but with a slightly thinner 1.5" double-cut mahogany body that makes it noticeably comfortable in hand.

The guitar has been fully tested here at Sixx Gun Music and is working great. It has been professionally set up with D’Addario 10s and comfortable low action. Action was not formally measured, but it plays easily and feels ready to go.

This is a DEMO-stamped example. The back of the headstock shows the serial number, Made in USA stamp, and DEMO stamp. We are representing this guitar clearly and transparently: no known modifications, no known repairs, and no known functional issues.

The Sparkling Burgundy Satin finish looks excellent in person, with a sharp, understated look that fits the model well. The black pickguard, black P-90s, nickel hardware, white-button tuners, and Rick Beato signature truss rod cover give it a clean, purposeful appearance without being overdone.

Condition

Excellent preowned condition.

This guitar presents very clean overall. As with any preowned satin-finish instrument, very light signs of handling may be visible under direct light. There are no known repairs, no known modifications, and no known functional issues. No major cosmetic issue was identified by us, but the guitar does carry the factory DEMO stamp.
