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 mahogany neck has a 1959 Rounded Medium C profile and is topped with a bound ebony fretboard that is equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets and dressed up with pearloid block position marker inlays. 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 Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom is powered by a pair of punchy-sounding Epiphone ProBucker™ Custom pickups that are wired to individual volume and tone controls that use high-quality CTS® potentiometers for outstanding reliability and tonal versatility. As is fitting for a Les Paul Custom, the hardware is gold, including a LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, the Grover tuners, and the Bigsby B70 vibrato tailpiece. The combination of these elements creates an instrument that is not only visually stunning but also remarkably versatile in its sound. 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.
