Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Joe Bonamassa 59 Les Paul Custom Guitar
This is a faithful recreation of blues legend Joe Bonamassa's prized 1959 Gibson, complete with the rare two-pickup configuration and Bigsby vibrato that made his original so special. Built with premium all-mahogany construction and hand-wired electronics, this limited-edition beauty delivers the punchy, versatile tones that have defined decades of blues and rock music.
What Makes This 'Black Beauty' Shine?
Experience the unique character of this rare custom order "Black Beauty" variation:
Rare Two-Pickup Configuration: Unlike standard three-pickup Les Paul Customs, this model features the same distinctive two-pickup setup as Joe's original, creating a more focused, punchy sound with incredible clarity across the frequency spectrum.
Bigsby B70 Vibrato Tailpiece: Add expressive vibrato effects and subtle pitch bends that bring your solos to life, just like the masters who made this combination legendary.
Hand-Wired Electronics with CTS Pots: Premium components and old-school wiring ensure pristine signal clarity and responsive tone controls that react naturally to your playing dynamics.
Playability That Honors Tradition
The 1959 Rounded Medium C-neck profile feels instantly familiar in your hands, offering the perfect balance of comfort and vintage authenticity. Combined with the bound ebony fretboard and 22 medium jumbo frets, every note rings clear and true.
All-Mahogany Construction: The solid mahogany body and set neck deliver the warm, sustained tones Les Pauls are famous for, with natural resonance that enhances every note you play.
Bound Ebony Fretboard: Smooth playing action across all 22 frets, enhanced by the elegant pearloid block inlays that catch the stage lights beautifully.
Graph Tech Nut: Low-friction design provides excellent tuning stability, even with the Bigsby vibrato in regular use.
Stunning Vintage Aesthetics
This guitar commands attention with its Antique Ebony finish and gold hardware that gleams under any lighting. The aged multi-ply binding and 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock with Custom Split Diamond inlay create an unmistakable vintage presence.
Antique Ebony Finish: The rich, dark finish perfectly captures the essence of the original "Black Beauty" while aging gracefully over time.
Premium Gold Hardware: From the LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge to the Grover Imperial tuners, every piece of hardware matches the original's luxurious appointments.
Authentic Details: Multi-ply binding, mother-of-pearl headstock inlay, and vintage-correct appointments make this guitar a true collector's piece.
A Legend Reborn for Today's Players
The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa '59 Les Paul Custom bridges the gap between vintage authenticity and modern accessibility. Complete with a certificate of authenticity and custom "Nerdville" hardshell case, this limited-edition instrument represents both musical excellence and lasting value for serious players and collectors alike.

I am very happy with
I am very happy with this guitar it not only looks fantastic. It also sounds excellent and the fret work on the neck is really not that bad for a guitar under $1000 a fantastic deal ,you can’t go wrong with this one.
Initial impressions are very positive. Fit and finish are solid, and the guitar is a real looker. I've always been a sucker for a black Custom with gold hardware, and this doesn't disappoint.
