Renowned guitarist Joe Bonamassa is also a world-class guitar collector.
One of the crown jewels of his collection is a 1959 Gibson Les Paul™ Custom, famously known as the “Black Beauty.” This particular example is highly unusual — a rare custom order with only two pickups instead of the standard three, and fitted with Grover® Imperial™ tuners and a Bigsby® vibrato tailpiece.
Epiphone’s Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom faithfully recreates this legendary guitar at an accessible price. It features an all-mahogany body with aged multi-ply binding, a 1959 Rounded Medium C mahogany neck with a bound ebony fretboard, pearloid block inlays, and a Custom Split Diamond headstock inlay. For stability and playability, it comes with a Graph Tech® nut and gold Grover tuners.
This special model is powered by a pair of Epiphone ProBucker™ Custom pickups, wired with CTS® potentiometers and Mallory capacitors for tonal clarity. Gold hardware, a LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, and a Bigsby® B70 vibrato tailpiece complete the look.
Includes a certificate of authenticity and a hardshell case with exclusive “Nerdville” graphics.
