Topic: Pictures of joe's les paul used on the gibson vids.

Hi there everybody

I'm hooked up on those vids on youtube from gibson where joe plays that great looking lp with the black straplocks.

Whould like to have some pictures of that one and also what amp joe's playing that.

I'm searching for that tone for a longggg time  smile

Would it be a dsl 100 or a silver jubilee?

Grtz raf

I cannot help you with the amplifier but as far as I know, that is just a 59 RI.

Here is Bridge to Better days where he uses it

but without bigsby and white hardware.

As for amp... I'm not sure but I think that I've read here that it was 5 watt Epiphone amp smile  I can't remember how they called it...

Re: Pictures of joe's les paul used on the gibson vids.

I want to say its actually a '58 RI... but not positive. Here's a picture of what it looks like now.

Ok, that one I've never heard, but you could be right. The only pickups I know that Joe uses are the BB 2 and 3 and the original PAF pickups in another Les Paul.

Re: Pictures of joe's les paul used on the gibson vids.

The Guitar is a 1998 58 Reissue Les Paul.. It now currently resides on the side of the semi truck and has black hardware with a bigsby.  Its funny this thread comes up the guitar was brought out of storage restrung and used all day on a session I did in Santa Monica.   Its a great guitar with a very cool top..  The history of the guitar is that I bought it from the House of Guitars in Rochester NY in 2003.  It is also the guitar that I used for all the specs and contours of the JB model.  Thats when the video was shot .. The very weekend my model was designed..  A little history of that guitar.  I call the guitar Winston....  As in Winston Cup Nascar... Due to it being on the side of a semi truck... cool

Darn.....I always forget that there are 58 RI's with flamed tops....

Thats cool that thats the guitar you used for the contours, I must say I love the top on that guitar especially the area around the bridge.

Re: Pictures of joe's les paul used on the gibson vids.

Good Day,

AndreS........ 

Joe does have at least, one LP  that has Seymour Duncan Antiquities installed on it.

From the "Encyclopedia Of Joe Bonamassa Guitar Help" on this site: By Joe


"The Tom Murphy 58 has Seymor Duncans"


I believe this is the guitar that has the Antiquities on it...(Joe can correct me if I'm wrong)

I have them as well...and I  can testify that for a Vintage style pickup..they SING.

I had mine potted...by SD because there was a bit of feed back initially because

I play at higher gain levels.

They are exceptional pickups, well worth, putting on any humbucking style guitar

They sound outstanding on my Epi Gold Top LP.

Cheers
