    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.

  3. Cary Says:

    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.

  5. Cary Says:

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

  6. Rick Says:

    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.
