For sale is my 2012 Gibson Les Paul standard Bonamassa Goldtop, one of only 400 made worldwide.

This model was Gibson’s tribute to Joe Bonamassa’s highly regarded early-’50s Goldtop and delivers that classic combination of fat PAF-style humbucker tone, substantial neck feel, and understated vintage looks. It’s one of the more collectible modern signature Les Pauls because Gibson kept production genuinely limited and stayed close to a traditional spec.

This example presents extremely well and has clearly been cared for.

Tone / Feel

If you’re after a Les Paul that sits closer to the old-school, substantial-feeling side rather than ultra-modern or overly bright, this one delivers. Thick bridge tones, articulate neck sounds, and the effortless sustain you expect from a good Goldtop.

Original Gibson hard case

A great opportunity to pick up one of Gibson’s more desirable limited-run artist Les Pauls without stepping into Custom Shop pricing.
