EPIPHONE Joe Bonamassa Black Beauty Les Paul Custom
Authentic replica of Joe Bonamassa's 1958 Les Paul Custom, including case
The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Black Beauty Les Paul Custom is an authentic reissue of the rare '58 Les Paul Custom with three pickups that the American blues hero purchased at Hauer Music in Centerville, Ohio, and has since counted among his permanent go-to instruments for stage and recording studio. Underneath the elegant black-beauty finish, the correct '50s construction with mahogany body and set mahogany neck creates the basis for a powerful sound, while the rounded "'50s" neck profile promises optimal playing characteristics. With two Epiphone ProBucker 2 pickups and one Epiphone Probucker 3, the Black Beauty Les Paul Custom delivers extremely multifaceted sounds whose metier covers the wide field between Blues and rock. Last but not least, the Epiphone Historic tuners also installed on Bonamassa's original and a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge with matching LockTone Stopbar complete the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Black Beauty Les Paul Custom.
The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Black Beauty Les Paul Custom is an authentic replica of Joe Bonamassa's '58 Black Beauty Les Paul down to the smallest detail.
Traditional '50s construction
The construction of the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa naturally follows the original from 1958. Accordingly, the electric guitar has a mahogany body with arched top, which in conjunction with the glued mahogany neck promises powerful sounds with long and even decay Sustain. The rounded "'50s" neck profile also promises the authentic vintage feel, so that the classic playing techniques of Blues and rock can be implemented with ease on the 22-fret ebony finger board. Naturally, typical custom appointments in the form of multi-ply bindings on the body and headstock, large block inlays and the split diamond on the headstock emphasize the noble appearance of the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Les Paul Custom.
Three ProBucker pickups for authentic vintage tones
An authentic reissue of a '58 Les Paul Custom, the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Black Beauty Les Paul naturally comes with three PAF-style humbuckers that deliver multi-faceted vintage tones at the guitar amp. In neck and middle position Epiphone ProBucker 2 pickups promise especially warm sounds with moderate Output for airy pearly cleans and singing overdrive. At the bridge, the more powerful Epiphone ProBucker 3 provides assertive overdrive sounds with a distinct vintage character. All three pickups are controlled via the traditional circuitry with a 3-way toggle switch and two volume and tone controls each, allowing a wide variety of sounds to be called up. In addition, classic orange drop capacitors allow particularly harmonious treble roll-offs.
Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Les Paul Custom with reliable hardware
Last but not least, the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Black Beauty Les Paul Custom is completed by high-quality and reliable hardware in an elegant gold finish. The most conspicuous features are undoubtedly the historically correct Epiphone Historic tuners, which can also be found on the original of the blues genius and were installed on the electric guitars from Kalamazoo in a short period of time after Epihphone's acquisition by Gibson in 1957. On the body, however, the proven bridge setup with LockTone Stopbar and LockTone ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic promises optimal adjustment of intonation and string action.

Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Black Beauty Les Paul Custom
The guitar itself is excellent, easy to play and produces great sound.
It was delivered earlier than expected which was good, however when it was delivered, the pickups were loose and uneven, the guitar was very out of tune and the cover for the lead rhythm switch was broken. It would appear there was no inspection carried out. To make matters worse music store have not responded to my emails regarding the delivery.
I would not purchase from music store again!
