Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Black Beauty Les Paul Custom

Traditional '50s construction

The construction of the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa naturally follows the original from 1958. Accordingly, the electric guitar has a mahogany body with arched top, which in conjunction with the glued mahogany neck promises powerful sounds with long and even decay Sustain. The rounded "'50s" neck profile also promises the authentic vintage feel, so that the classic playing techniques of Blues and rock can be implemented with ease on the 22-fret ebony finger board. Naturally, typical custom appointments in the form of multi-ply bindings on the body and headstock, large block inlays and the split diamond on the headstock emphasize the noble appearance of the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Les Paul Custom.

Three ProBucker pickups for authentic vintage tones

An authentic reissue of a '58 Les Paul Custom, the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Black Beauty Les Paul naturally comes with three PAF-style humbuckers that deliver multi-faceted vintage tones at the guitar amp. In neck and middle position Epiphone ProBucker 2 pickups promise especially warm sounds with moderate Output for airy pearly cleans and singing overdrive. At the bridge, the more powerful Epiphone ProBucker 3 provides assertive overdrive sounds with a distinct vintage character. All three pickups are controlled via the traditional circuitry with a 3-way toggle switch and two volume and tone controls each, allowing a wide variety of sounds to be called up. In addition, classic orange drop capacitors allow particularly harmonious treble roll-offs.

Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Les Paul Custom with reliable hardware

Last but not least, the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Black Beauty Les Paul Custom is completed by high-quality and reliable hardware in an elegant gold finish. The most conspicuous features are undoubtedly the historically correct Epiphone Historic tuners, which can also be found on the original of the blues genius and were installed on the electric guitars from Kalamazoo in a short period of time after Epihphone's acquisition by Gibson in 1957. On the body, however, the proven bridge setup with LockTone Stopbar and LockTone ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic promises optimal adjustment of intonation and string action.
