The strictly limited edition of the “Joe Bonamassa Skinnerburst” is one of the highlights of the Gibson Custom Shop, is of course long sold out and virtually unobtainable on the second-hand market. And we still only know of a few Les Pauls that reproduce the real old Burst feeling as faithfully as the 2014 replica of Joe Bonamassa's 1959 Paula. However, before the regular production of this small series could take place two prototypes were made based on the original, of which we are delighted to offer you number 2 today. This guitar was not only briefly tested by Joe Bonamassa, but also accompanied him on various tours and could be admired at countless concerts. And as with the later production this Skinnerburst also comes with a fabulously grained top in the most beautiful Lemon Burst and a top aging by Tom Murphy. But the real joy begins when you pick up the guitar. The neck feels super comfortable thanks to the ideal 59 profile with rounded shoulders and the Paula's excellent vibration behavior means that even without an amp you'll be thrilled. Airy, direct sounds with fantastic overtones and singing tone development. Juicy Les Paul sounds with extreme depth, dynamics, three-dimensionality and a lively basic character. Plus a dream weight of just 3870 grams! So if you are looking for a special Les Paul with music-historical exclusivity, the highest rarity value and the best value retention, which is also an absolute top player, then you have come to the right place! We are delighted to be able to offer you Joe Bonamassa's personal tour guitar in absolute collector's condition with great case candy.incl. original case, "Joe Bonamassa" strap, set list, case candyweight: 3870 gramssubject to differential taxation
