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.
