Redefining the Blues! Musicians that redefine an art form are few and far between. Yet in the span of a few years, guitarist Joe Bonamassa has singlehandedly transformed blues rock with his own unique fusion of both old and new ideas. His distinct interpretation of the blues and his extraordinary guitar skills have earned him a fitting a tribute from Epiphone - the new Limited Edition Joe Bonamassa Les Paul Goldtop Outfit. Designed in close cooperation with Joe himself, this new signature model captures the essence of Bonamassa’s Goldtop by blending several vintage features from the legendary Les Pauls of the 1950s including a traditional 1959 neck profile and Gibson Burstbucker™ pickups with a few modern appointments. Limited to 1,000 guitars worldwide, the new Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Les Paul Goldtop sets a new standard for affordable performance. Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Les Paul features Gibson USA BurstBucker pickups, Rounded D-profile; 1959 shape neck shape, Carved Hard Maple Top, LockTone™ Tune-o-matic/Stopbar Bridge, and Grover Tuners. Lifton-style Hardshell Case, Hand-Signed Certificate of Authenticity, and Epiphone StrapLocks included.
The Les Paul's impact on the worlds of rock 'n' roll and blues was absolutely titanic. In the realm of jazz, the instrument that had the same monumental effect is the Gibson ES-175. When the ES-175 debuted with a run of 129 in 1949, it nudged aside the ES-150, which had been the guitar of choice for jazz innovators like Charlie Christian and Eddie Durham. The ES-175 also proved a more manageable and less costly alternative to the L-5s thanks to its smaller body size and laminated top.
The Gibson Les Paul Chad Kroeger Limited Edition is Nickelback frontman's signature model, which is limited to 200 units worldwide. The Gibson Les Paul Chad Kroeger has a beautiful stained Ebony AAA maple top and a chambered mahogany body. In addition to the usual two 498T / 490R humbuckers, the Gibson Les Paul Chad Kroeger is fitted with a Ghost piezo pickup system, so that you can also obtain tones similar to a steelstring guitar from this instrument. Original Gibson case included.
Gibson USA’s Slash Signature Les Paul Standard is a heartfelt tribute to Slash and the guitar he’s used for more than 20 years to create some of the most powerful and popular hard rock of all time. Working closely with Slash, Gibson USA recreated his favorite Les Paul Standard. The magic of this guitar is in the details. An Antique Vintage Sunburst finish is applied to a solid mahogany body with a AA maple figured top and dark black. The body features Gibson’s period-correct weight-relief structure, along with a pair of Seymore Duncan Alnico II Pro humbuckers–the same pickups Slash uses in all his Les Pauls — for sweet, vintage tone. The Slash-designed solid mahogany neck is given a thin, comfortable profile to Slash’s personal specifications, and Slash’s skull and crossbones, top hat logo, and signature adorn the headstock. A custom-made, smooth black case featuring Slash’s logo accompanies every guitar. The Gibson USA Slash Signature Les Paul is a limited-edition run of only 1,600 guitars worldwide. Gibson Slash hardcase included.
The Epiphone Les Paul Special II has followed on from the original model and is targeted at the beginner or entry level guitarist. It offers a well manufactured Les Paul guitar to thousands of musicians who otherwise could not have had access to the genuine Gibson model. As many of you will know Epiphone has been reproducing replica copies of the Gibson Les Paul under licence after Epiphone were purchased by Gibson several years ago.
