About this listing
Joe Bonamassa Signature Epiphone 1959 Les Paul Custom Electric GuitarJoe Bonamassa is known worldwide not only for his exceptional guitar playing, but also as a world-class collector. One of the most prized instruments in his collection is a 1959 Gibson Les Paul Custom. Often referred to as the “Black Beauty,” late-1950s Les Paul Customs are already highly sought after, but Joe’s example is even more distinctive: a rare custom version with a two-pickup configuration instead of the standard three-pickup layout, along with Grover Imperial tuners and a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece.The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa 1959 Les Paul Custom faithfully recreates this remarkable instrument at a more accessible price point. It features an all-mahogany body finished in Antique Ebony, with aged multi-ply binding for an authentic vintage-inspired look. The mahogany neck uses a 1959 Rounded Medium C profile and is topped with a bound ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays.The multi-bound 1960s Kalamazoo-style headstock features the Epiphone logo and the iconic Custom Split Diamond in mother of pearl, while a Graph Tech nut helps ensure solid tuning stability.A pair of Epiphone ProBucker Custom pickups provides powerful, expressive tone, with individual volume and tone controls using high-quality CTS potentiometers. Gold hardware throughout, including the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, Grover Imperial tuners, and Bigsby B70 vibrato, completes the luxurious and classic appearance while adding tonal versatility and visual character.This limited-edition Epiphone Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom includes a certificate of authenticity and a hardshell case with Joe Bonamassa “Nerdville” graphics. It is a fitting tribute to both a legendary guitarist and one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made.SpecificationsBody Binding: Aged/Yellowed 7-Ply Top, 5-Ply Back and Headstock, Ivory Single-Ply Fretboard Body Finish: Gloss Body Material: Mahogany Body Shape: Les Paul Body Style: Les PaulNeck Fingerboard Material: Ebony Fingerboard Radius: 304.8 mm / 12.0" Fret Count: 22 Frets: Medium Jumbo Inlays: Pearloid Block Joint: Glued-In, Set Neck, Long Tenon Neck Material: Mahogany Nut Material: Graph Tech Nut Width: 43.0 mm / 1.69" Profile: 1959 Rounded Medium C Scale Length: 628.65 mm / 24.75"Electronics Bridge Pickup: ProBucker Custom Neck Pickup: ProBucker Custom Controls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone, CTS Potentiometers Output Jack: 1/4" Pickup Selector: 3-Way ToggleHardware Bridge: LockTone Tune-O-Matic Control Covers: Black Control Knobs: Black Top Hat Finish: Gold Jack Plate Cover: Black 3-Ply Square Mounting Rings: Black Pickguard: Black Les Paul 5-Ply Pickup Covers: Gold Strap Buttons: 2 – Bottom and Upper Bout, Gold Switch Tip: Amber Switch Washer: Black with Gold Hot Stamp Tailpiece: Bigsby B70 Vibrato Truss Rod: Dual Action Truss Rod Cover: Black 2-Ply Bell, Les Paul Custom Tuner Plating: Gold Tuning Machines: Grover ImperialMiscellaneous Accessories: Certificate of Authenticity Model: EIJBLPCBGB1 Case: Hardshell Case with Joe Bonamassa Nerdville Graphics Headstock: 60s Kalamazoo Headstock Inlay: Epiphone Logo and Custom Split Diamond in Mother of Pearl String Gauge: .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046
