Collectible Gibson Custom Shop "Inspired By" Joe Bonamassa Aged Les Paul Goldtop. Number 89 of only 150 made and with a stunning factory aged finish.


It is an exclusive replica of a heavily modified 1955 Goldtop that passed through Bonamassa's father's guitar shop when Joe was just 11 years old. Produced as part of Gibson's elite "Inspired By" limited-run series, it is celebrated for its vintage aesthetic, unique electronics, and distinct historical specs.


Key features and specifications of this highly collectible guitar include:

Body & Finish: Features a carved maple top paired with a light, weight-relieved two-piece mahogany back. The body boasts an Antique Goldtop finish on the front with contrasting black back, sides, and plastics (pickup rings, switch washer, and pickguard)

Neck & Profile: Fitted with a one-piece mahogany neck featuring a traditional chunky 1959 rounded profile, a 24 ¾-inch scale length, and a rosewood fingerboard with acrylic trapezoid inlays. The headstock is slightly narrower, akin to vintage 1950s models.

Electronics: Powered by a pair of Gibson's classic BurstBucker pickups (a BurstBucker 2 in the neck and a BurstBucker 3 in the bridge) with Alnico II magnets. It is wired with vintage CTS pots and "Bumble Bee" capacitors.

Hardware: Features lightly-aged nickel hardware, an ABR-1 bridge (without the retainer wire), an aluminum stopbar tailpiece, and Grover kidney tuners. A signature Bonamassa truss cover is also fitted.

Unique Appointments: The guitar features intentionally mismatched control knobs—amber top hats for the neck and gold top hats for the bridge—mirroring the quirky aesthetic of Joe's original modded guitar.

Collectability: Each guitar came with an exclusive hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) hand-signed by Joe Bonamassa himself.
