Les Paul Custom With a Bigsby, Inspired by Joe Bonamassa

As Bonamassa fans and vintage tone gurus alike, it's always a treat when the man himself shares instruments inspired by his extensive catalog of rare guitars. The Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom is based on what is perceived to be one of the rarest Les Pauls ever built — a late 1950s two-pickup “Black Beauty” with a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece. All the trimmings that make the original stand out are present in this carefully crafted all-mahogany-body Epiphone homage, from the aged binding and ‘50s-style rounded mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard down to the Grover Imperial tuning buttons. To complete the vintage vibe, the Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom comes stocked with a set of Epiphone ProBucker pickups bursting with PAF-inspired punch and dynamics. From museum-quality aesthetics to smooth playability, the Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom is built to serve as a stage-ready instrument worthy of the blues icon’s namesake.

Aged styling just like Joe’s

One look at the Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom and you’ll find it to be a spitting image of Joe's treasured original. To start, aged, yellowed binding surrounds the mahogany body’s front and back as well as the neck and Kalamazoo-style headstock, creating a lived-in yet cherished aesthetic. Matched with a vintage gloss polyurethane finish and complementary gold hardware, including the factory-installed Bigsby and matching Grover Imperial tuners, this guitar screams classic Les Paul vibes.

Traditional tonewood combination

The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom doesn't just look good — it feels like a classic solidbody guitar. While the Custom-style all-mahogany body exudes warmth and resonance, the mahogany neck features a period-accurate 1959 Rounded Medium C profile full of singing sustain and comfort. Topped with a genuine ebony fingerboard for a smooth feel and added bite, you can count on the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom for an extravagantly rich and balanced tone.

ProBucker pickups deliver PAF-era clean and crunch tones

The key ingredient to the Les Paul's early success was the PAF humbucking pickup. As the first of its kind to hit the mainstream, Patent Applied For humbuckers defined the sound of a generation with their fat tone and clear response. The ProBucker pickup set is inspired by the original PAF sound: full, tight-sounding lows, incredible clarity, singing sustain and harmonics, and a midrange crunch that satisfies any sonic appetite. When you plug in, you'll instantly recognize the signature Les Paul punch.
