Description
The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa '59 Les Paul Custom Limited in Antique Ebony is a faithful recreation of one of Joe's rarest vintage guitars-a custom-ordered 1959 Gibson Les Paul Custom with two humbuckers, a Bigsby, and a seriously clean look. Built for players who want that old-school elegance with modern performance and price, this one brings high-end Custom Shop-style detail into a more accessible range, and it's loaded with unique appointments straight from Bonamassa's original Black Beauty.
It features an all-mahogany body with aged multi-ply binding and a carved top finished in Antique Ebony. The mahogany neck has a comfortable 1959 Rounded Medium C profile with a bound ebony fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, and pearloid block inlays. Electronics include a pair of Epiphone ProBucker Custom humbuckers, wired with individual volume and tone controls and top-shelf CTS pots, delivering clarity, punch, and vintage-leaning warmth across the board. Tuning stability and sustain are handled by a Graph Tech nut, LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a Bigsby B70 vibrato tailpiece.
The hardware is gold throughout-including Grover Imperial tuners-giving it the proper Custom feel, and it ships in a hard case with Joe's "Nerdville" graphics and certificate of authenticity. We like this one because it blends vintage detail with gig-ready build quality, and you don't have to be a collector to appreciate how cool and usable this guitar really is.
