Product Description
Renowned guitarist Joe Bonamassa has one of the world’s most enviable guitar collections. One prized instrument is a 1955 Les Paul Standard with a very rare Copper Iridescent finish that was originally created for display at the 1955 NAMM Show. As Joe noted, “From a distance, it looks brown, but in direct light, it has gold metal flake in the finish.” Epiphone’s Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard faithfully recreates this special guitar. It features the same Copper Iridescent color, a pair of Epiphone P-90 PRO pickups wired to CTS® potentiometers and Mallory™ capacitors, a Custom ’59 Rounded C neck profile, long neck tenon, and a “Nerdville” graphic hardshell case.
Key Features
- Rare Finish Colour - The Copper Iridescent finish of the Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard is the same color as Joe’s exceptionally rare 1955 Les Paul, which was originally built for display at the 1955 NAMM Show and until now, has only been used on a handful of guitars.
- High-Quality Electronics - The Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard features a pair of Epiphone’s acclaimed P-90 PRO pickups. Beefier sounding than many single coil pickups, they can deliver everything from a clean, bell-like chime all the way to nasty, gnarly grime and everything in between. They are wired to high-quality CTS® potentiometers and Mallory capacitors.
- Custom ’59 Rounded C - Based on the neck profile of some of the most desirable and well-loved guitars in history, the Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard features a Custom ’59 Rounded C neck profile. Not too thin and not too big, it’s a great fit for players who want something a bit beefier than a SlimTaper™ profile but not as big as some other vintage-style neck profiles.
