Gibson Giving Away ‘Series Inspired’ Mongolian Chop Squad Les Paul Cary Aug 10th
OK, I guess I’m letting my geekdom show today… Gibson is giving away a Les Paul inspired by the Japanese Anime Series “Beck - Mongolian Chop Squad,” and whether you’re an anime fan or not, you’ll just have to trust me when I say that you definitely want to check it out, ‘cuz the guitar is drop dead gorgeous.
You can learn more about the animated series here––or if you’re a really geeky Japanophile like myself you can check out the manga it originates from here––but either way, you’ll probably want to at least sign-up for a chance to win that stunning Les Paul (Sorry, Deadline Now Passed.)
Fortunately, Gibson appears to have left out the bullet holes.

Very cool. I’m a anime-nerd.. and I’m psyched to see this! J

It’s a split-hair variation on a guitar that’s been in production for fifty years, and it looks like about a half-a-bezillion Les Pauls I’ve ever seen.
What’s so gorgeous about it?
I don’t understand this.

Sorry if my post confused you Billy, but I never suggested that it was custom, or unique––I simply stated that it was gorgeous.
Beauty is of course in the eye of the beholder.

there is also a japan-only Beck. telecaster model. possibly the first time the ‘big two’ have made products for the same, well, ok anime series.

Ooh, a Beck Tele? I’ll definitely have to look into that.

shhhhhhhh
Stop telling people. I want that guitar
BTW, Beck is one of the better Anime series I’ve seen this year. Great story. One of the times where the anime is much better than the manga.

I much prefer the manga. That way I can leave the characters’ voices and how the bands sound up to my imagination. That being said the Beck Tele was a really nice blonde color and was an actual limited production model. This one which is just a regular Les Paul probably donated for a giveaway. It’d be like Gretsch giving away a White Falcon or Ernie Ball giving away a Stingray. The bullet holes would have made it seem more like an actual model done for Beck. Looked nice in person though.
