FROM EPIPHONE:
Joe Bonamassa is widely renowned for his guitar-playing prowess and as a world-class guitar collector. One prized gem in his collection is his 1959 Gibson Les Paul Custom. The original Les Paul Custom came to be known as the “Black Beauty,” and examples from the late 50s are highly sought after, but this particular guitar is quite unique. Joe’s guitar is a rare custom order with two pickups instead of the standard three-pickup configuration. Adding to its allure, it also sports Grover® Imperial™ tuners and a Bigsby® vibrato tailpiece.
The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa 1959 Les Paul Custom faithfully recreates this exceptional guitar for players everywhere to enjoy and at an accessible price. It has an Antique Ebony finish over its all-mahogany body, which features aged multi-ply binding on the top and back. The multi-ply bound 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock features the Epiphone logo and the iconic Custom Split Diamond inlay in mother of pearl and is outfitted with a low-friction Graph Tech® nut for excellent tuning stability.
The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom comes with a certificate of authenticity and a hardshell case with “Nerdville” graphics. This limited edition Epiphone Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom is a tribute to a legendary guitarist and an iconic guitar and represents both a lasting investment and excellence in musical instrument craftsmanship.
