Joe Bonamassa Gold Top.

[rons59burst]

I know the spec sheet says 2 piece back, but are these a solid mahogany body with just a 2 piece mahogany back like the 2 piece maple top ?

 

Thanks.

the back is 2-piece mahogany, the top is carved maple, as on a normal goldtop.

So the body is 1-piece just with a 2-piece back ?

[Custom Admin]

the back is 2-piece.

the top is bookmatched maple, just like on a regular goldtop.

Just another question about the 2-piece back: is it center joined, or randomly joined ?

Well, they've done it again. Another JB artist model. That makes three and they still can't get it right.

Even though a big JB fan myself, I won't be in line for one until they get it right. In this video, it does not appear to be the guitar as advertised.The one in the video is a clear mahogany back.

 

MSRP is 6k. Once it hits the streets it may be around 4.2k-4.5k plus your state taxes. This appears to be nothing more than a 2013 model with the black trim and the back painted black, the tone and volume knobs changed and a signature truss rod cover. No JB SD pu's or the real deal neck shape. Not a fan of the 60's slim neck but do like the asymmetrical necks on the 2008 Standard plus models, I have two of them and the Traditional as well and like those neck shapes.

 

I think Gibson and Joe missed it on this one.... or is there something special about this guitar I'm not understanding?
