Authentic binding colours, aged cellulose trapezoid inlays, and period-correct hardware further enhance the faithful recreation of Joe's cherished companion, both on stage and in the studio.

Equipped with Gibson's CustomBucker and Burstbucker #3 pickups, meticulously crafted to mirror the original PAFs, this instrument delivers the authentic tone and character of Joe's beloved '59 Les Paul. Hand-aged by master artisan Tom Murphy, each of the 150 Aged Skinnerburst models perfectly replicates the wear and patina of Joe's revered original.

Built to the exacting specifications of a '59 Les Paul, this guitar boasts a Mahogany body and neck, a 2-piece Figured Maple top, and a Rosewood fingerboard with traditional 24.75" scale length and 12" radius. Complete with Kluson Deluxe Green Key Tuners, ABR-1 bridge with Aluminum stopbar, Bumble Bee capacitors, and Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish, the Gibson Custom Murphy Aged Joe Bonamassa Skinnerburst 59 Les Paul embodies the essence of a timeless classic.
