In this 1969 performance of Tonight Today, Beaky is seen performing with a Gibson Les Paul Jr. Double Cutaway. This guitar may have stemmed from how Beaky had retired the Gibson J-160E briefly, and needed another electric guitar for his performance.

The color of the guitar itself is in a dark shade, though it would not be the dark red, so one possible color would be black, suggested by its shade in the black and white promo video.
