Gibson Les Paul Joe Bonamassa Skinnerburst Aged and Signed #3 (2014)

About Joe Bonamassa we certainly do not have to write much more. Here we have the exact replica of his favorite Burst, the so-called "Skinnerburst". And this also in the "Aged & Signed" version with the "Single Digit" serial number 3. Only 50 pieces of the "Aged & Signed" models were built. All of them were aged by Tom Murphy and also played by Joe himself(!). We still know only a few Les Pauls that reproduce the real, old Burst feeling as true to the original as the Skinnerburst replicas. And this Les Paul shows for me very clearly what the Gibson Custom Shop is capable of. The aging is so authentic and detailed that you have to look three times to distinguish it from a real old one. Incredible vintage look! The neck feels as comfortable as slipping into an old sneaker thanks to the ideal 59 profile with rounded shoulders. The vibration behaviour and response are at the highest level here, and at 3760 grams the guitar is also a particularly resonant lightweight. In addition this Les Paul has an extremely characteristic tone. Very reminiscent of the typical, real old PAF sound. Beautifully differentiated, great harmonics, singing tone development. Juicy Les Paul sound with lots of depth, dynamics, three-dimensionality and a lively basic character. Apart from all the collector features, the extremely low serial number and the "Aged & Signed" bonus you simply get a reference player Paula here, which we can offer you in mint condition.
