The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa 59 Les Paul Custom in Antique Ebony is a bold tribute to one of the most influential blues guitarists of his generation and to a defining era of the Les Paul legacy. Joe Bonamassa’s lifelong pursuit of great tone and historic instruments is distilled here into a guitar that blends vintage authority with modern reliability, built to look, feel, and sound like a true classic.

Finished in deep gloss Antique Ebony, the mahogany body and set mahogany neck deliver the weight, resonance, and sustain that players expect from a great Les Paul Custom. The long tenon neck joint and 1959 Rounded Medium C profile give this guitar a solid, connected feel, while the 24.75 inch scale length and 12 inch ebony fingerboard radius make bends smooth and expressive across all 22 medium jumbo frets. Pearloid block inlays and ivory single ply fretboard binding complete the unmistakable Custom aesthetic.

Visually, this guitar is pure statement. Aged and yellowed multi ply binding on the top, back, and headstock recalls the golden era of late 50s and early 60s Les Paul Customs. Gold hardware, black top hat knobs, a black 5 ply Les Paul pickguard, and the iconic Custom split diamond headstock inlay in mother of pearl tie everything together with elegance and authority. The 60s Kalamazoo headstock shape nods directly to Epiphone and Gibson history.

Tonally, a pair of ProBucker Custom pickups deliver rich, articulate humbucker tones with plenty of bite and warmth. Controlled by CTS potentiometers with two volume and two tone controls and a three way toggle, this setup covers everything from thick blues leads to classic rock crunch and smooth, singing sustain. The LockTone Tune O Matic bridge anchors the sound, while the Bigsby B70 vibrato adds expressive shimmer and vintage flair without sacrificing stability.

Premium appointments continue with a Graph Tech nut, Grover Imperial gold tuning machines, dual action truss rod, and gold pickup covers and strap buttons. Even the details matter, from the amber switch tip to the black switch washer with gold hot stamp.

Weighing in at 9 lbs 1 oz, this Les Paul Custom feels substantial and inspiring in hand. It ships with a hardshell case featuring Joe Bonamassa Nerdville graphics and includes a certificate of authenticity, underscoring its place as a true artist model.

The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa 59 Les Paul Custom in Antique Ebony is more than a signature guitar. It is a celebration of Joe’s passion for historic instruments and uncompromising tone, offering players a powerful, elegant, and deeply musical Les Paul Custom experience.
