Oh look... another 59... Shocking

[Rabs]

:P :)

 

Of all of todays Les Paul-wielding artists Joe Bonamassa is among the most revered, and the astounding 1959 model that he affectionately calls Principal Skinner is the most beloved guitar in his extensive collection. Now, following a long-coming collaboration between Joe and Gibson Custom, we are delighted to present Skinnerburst, a detail-perfect recreation of what is possibly the hardest working 1959 Les Paul in the world today. Through unrestricted access to the original and Joes generous cooperation, Gibson Custom has scanned, studied and measured every spec, curve and parameter of this guitar to bring you an instrument that reproduces this prized burst in every possible way, exactly as it looks, feels, and sounds today.

 

From its delectably faded Dirty Lemon finish, to its custom-wound humbucking pickups, to its precise top carve and neck profile, the Joe Bonamassa Skinnerburst 1959 Les Paul gets you as close as is humanly possible to a priceless artists guitar. Historically accurate binding colors, aged cellulose trapezoid inlays, hot-hide glue neck construction, and period-correct hardware all complement a breathtaking rendition of Joes constant stage and studio companion. Of 150 guitars hand-aged by unparalleled ageing artist Tom Murphy, 50 will be played and signed by Joe himself; a further 150 will be treated to Gibson Customs VOS process, making a Limited Edition of 300 guitars in total.

And the aged version (add another 10k :P) (how does the top loose that much flame with age?) :)

Too brown - should be called the turd burst.

Too brown - should be called the turd burst.

Think that Aged Lemon Burst would do, depending on the way the lemon aged. ;)

Of all of today’s Les Paul-wielding artists Joe Bonamassa is among the most revered by Joes parents.

I say! Has Gibson actually reissued a 59 Les Paul!!???! But this time in a tasteful burst??!

 

For $10,000 it should come with MinETune.
