Rob_J Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Does anyone here own a Bonnamassa Gold Top Les Paul? If so, how do you rate it for quality and playability. What is the neck like? I had a 50's Tribute LP and didn't care for the fatter neck on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdouglas Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I was considering one that gc had on a big sale until I played it. Neck is really fat and uncomfortable for my hands and the back of the neck had sticky paint syndrome. Am much happier with 2011 Epi lp std I got used.

Rob_J Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Thanks for the reports. I had seen one previously in a music store and it looked really good but I didn't play it, so had no idea what the neck was like. I don't have small hands, but large chunky necks and I don't get along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can learn to adapt to a variety of necks if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy123 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I do own the Joe Bonamassa LP...along with an Epi Standard LP and Epi 339...I agree that the neck is huge but I got used to it real quick. My JB has a great neck and I actually had to raise the action a little...my Standard's neck is much narrower but the 339 seems to be a little wider...I have no issues switching between any of them. The JB was a great buy considering it included the Gibson pickups and a HSC but you could buy an Epi LP and upgrade it for about the same cost....I'm a sucker for Goldtops and also had an Epi 56' Goldtop w/ P90's that I regret selling...so the JB was a great fit....I got one of the first run models and it is a keeper...later. cowboy123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsyseven Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yeah, i also think you get used to it very quick.I mean if you like the guitar, tone and playability of it.I´m also sure the bigger/fatter neck makes a difference in the tone of the guitar...just what i experienced...
