A '59 Les Paul Custom with vintage tone and elegant craftsmanship.
The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom brings one of Joe’s rarest "Black Beauty" guitars to players everywhere. Modeled after his late-’50s two-pickup Les Paul Custom with a factory Bigsby vibrato, this recreation blends vintage character with stage-ready reliability. Its all-mahogany body and neck are paired with a bound ebony fingerboard and aged multi-ply binding for an unmistakably classic look. Finished in Antique Ebony and complete with gold hardware, it captures the feel of Bonamassa’s prized original while delivering modern playability built for years of performance.
ProBucker Pickups With Vintage Voice and Modern Punch
At the heart of the ’59 Les Paul Custom are dual Epiphone ProBucker Custom humbuckers, voiced for PAF-style warmth and clarity. They produce singing sustain, rich midrange and articulate highs that respond beautifully to picking dynamics. CTS potentiometers keep the signal pure, offering smooth control for nuanced tone shaping whether you’re running clean or driving an amp hard. Every note cuts through with the definition that defines Bonamassa’s sound.
Bigsby Vibrato and Grover Hardware for Expressive Performance
A factory-installed Bigsby B70 vibrato gives this Les Paul Custom expressive pitch control—from subtle shimmer to wide bends—without compromising tuning stability. A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Grover Imperial tuners ensure rock-solid performance and precise adjustments. Each detail, from the vintage-style Imperial buttons to the smooth vibrato arm, reflects the design of Joe’s original instrument while adding the dependability modern players expect.
Built for Collectors and Performers
This Les Paul Custom delivers the tone, feel and visual impact worthy of its namesake. The all-mahogany build resonates with warmth and sustain, while the ebony fretboard and 1959 Rounded Medium C neck carve offer effortless playability. Plus, each guitar ships in a Bonamassa "Nerdville" hardshell case, ready for the studio, stage or your guitar room display. In summary, the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom captures a piece of guitar history—reborn for players who demand tone, style and authenticity in every note.
