He can stick his signature Les Paul up his ass. What a prick. 

Stop sitting on the fence man!

Rick’s one of the good guys and has a massive YouTube following so I guess Fender thought it worthwhile making him a signature guitar.
People and artists on YouTube are the new live artists.
Tash Saltana got a signature a couple of months ago.

I’m sorry but only a holes announce that they’re going to give a thumbs down. 

To be honest I agree with his point there. It's a bit like people who need to flounce. I've seen many videos on YouTube that I thought were rubbish or a waste of time, but I have never posted a negative comment.

^ I thought it was better to be honest and explain why I gave it a thumbs-down - ie I dont think your (heavy capitalised) title ""How to QUICKLY LEARN The FRETBOARD" actually does what it claims.

If I were being slightly more frank, I should probably have posted something more like - DONT f*cking USE LARGE CAPITALS as CLICK BAIT to SUCK PEOPLE IN to your  UTTER BOLLOCKS of a VIDEO you TWAT. Thats TEN MINUTES of my FOKKING LIFE WASTED you CNUT!!!

I'll know better next time

Sultana rejects both male AND female pronouns.

See my old thread on the use of "women" on here instead of "woman".

I am sure there are people more worthy of a signature model who are known to be solely Gibson users. Whether rock stars these days have the same sort of following as YouTubers remains to be seen of course.

Yeah but they already gave him the signature silverburst

There was a rumour that a signature Strat was in the pipeline before all the stuff came out

I probably say the same thing about every YouTuber - that the need to churn out content means that quality control is not there. Beato has a huge back catalogue of videos and you could stumble into something really interesting or something that was him desperately trying to fill an hour.
Someone mentioned Greg Koch as a comparison, a big character in terms of guitar on youtube, yet really struggles to get bums on seats in the physical world. Having a YT video on whilst I'm waiting for the kettle to boil is much less of a commitment than buying a physical product or going out on a rainy Tuesday evening to see him play a club.

I've got a Pete Thorn Suhr. You could argue he's really 'only' a session guitarist and hired gun with very little popular culture relevance. Why would he get a Suhr signature model?

His YouTube audience and online popularity has got him a Suhr signature amp and now guitar. And it's a great guitar in its own right. 

The lines between traditional rock star like Jack White or someone and a YouTuber like Thorn or Beato are being blurred. Ultimately it's about popularity and proficiency. If you have both in your field then you've achieved a similar thing as a traditional rock star, surely. And you could argue that why don't they deserve a signature model.

I'm not sure signature instruments really have much relevance these days.

Years ago guitar was a big thing, young kids wanted to be the next Slash or Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai or Eric Clapton.  Signature guitars endorsed by big players had a massive appeal and a significantly larger target market than I think they do now.

A friend of mine has been a guitar teacher for the last 30 years and he often points out that nobody starts lessons anymore wanting to be able to play like the guitar gods of old.  If he gets a request to teach a song it's more likely to be Ed Sheeran than Iron Maiden.

Certainly if YouTube is now the showcase for current players then it stands to reason that they might get dibs at a signature instrument.  That said, it's a mutually agreeable contract; Gibson gets promoted by Rick Beato (in this case) and as a consequence Gibson gets him a bunch of new followers on YouTube.  

In that respect I don't think the 'signature' thing is really a thing at all - how much different will it be from what Gibson might have done in any case?  Is it going to be that exclusive?  It's more of a guitar to celebrate a contract arrangement than it is a signature instrument in its own right.

Notice Ryan has still not been charged with anything.
So really does make me wonder how true all these accusations that completely wrecked his life are??

randerson

Can't wait for Logan Paul to get his..

guitartango

He reminds of Johnny Bravo doing an impression of a used car salesman...with 20% off if you buy it now. 

Don't forget he has a number hit in the Amish Charts lol
