One prized gem in his collection is his 1959 Gibson Les Paul Custom. The original Les Paul Custom came to be known as the “Black Beauty,” and examples from the late 50s are highly sought after, but this particular guitar is quite unique.

The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa 1959 Les Paul Custom faithfully recreates this exceptional guitar for players everywhere to enjoy and at an accessible price.

The mahogany neck has a 1959 Rounded Medium C profile and is topped with a bound ebony fretboard that is equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets and dressed up with pearloid block position marker inlays. The multi-ply bound 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock features the Epiphone logo and the iconic Custom Split Diamond inlay in mother of pearl and is outfitted with a low-friction Graph Tech® nut for excellent tuning stability. The Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom is powered by a pair of punchy-sounding Epiphone ProBucker™ Custom pickups that are wired to individual volume and tone controls that use high-quality CTS® potentiometers for outstanding reliability and tonal versatility.

The Les Paul Custom was initially developed and released at the request of Mr. Les Paul himself, who, in 1954, wanted a fancier version of his signature guitar model with cosmetics that “look like a tuxedo.” The initial finish offered was Black, later White, and eventually other color options were offered. Even the body woods used have changed from model to model, with the first run models from the 1950s using all-mahogany bodies that gave them a more mid-focused sound, while many later versions used a mahogany body paired with a maple cap—the same as on a Les Paul Standard—giving them a more balanced tone with more brightness, snap, and attack. Other appointments have remained unchanged, such as the block fretboard inlays, Custom split diamond headstock inlay, and extensive binding used throughout the guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Inspired by Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom continues the Les Paul Custom’s tradition of elegance. It has a solid mahogany body with a maple cap for excellent tonal balance. The body features multi-ply binding on the top and back, which contributes to the model’s elegant appearance. A one-piece mahogany neck with a Modern Medium C profile is attached to the body with a long neck tenon for improved coupling, stability, and enhanced sustain. The bound ebony fretboard—a hallmark of the Les Paul Custom since its introduction—is equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets and adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays. The five-ply bound Gibson-style open book headstock is outfitted with Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, a Graph Tech® nut, and adorned with the Epiphone logo and the famous Custom split diamond inlay, both in mother-of-pearl. At the other end, the strings pass over a LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and anchor to a LockTone Stop Bar for excellent intonation and sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hand-wired electronics utilize premium components, including USA-made Gibson 490R and 498T humbucker™ pickups, CTS® volume and tone controls for each pickup, Mallory™ tone capacitors, and a Switchcraft® 3-way pickup selector toggle switch and 1\/4” output jack.

The Les Paul Custom was initially developed and released at the request of Mr. Les Paul himself, who, in 1954, wanted a fancier version of his signature guitar model with cosmetics that “look like a tuxedo.” The initial finish offered was Black, later White, and eventually other color options were offered. Even the body woods used have changed from model to model, with the first run models from the 1950s using all-mahogany bodies that gave them a more mid-focused sound, while many later versions used a mahogany body paired with a maple cap—the same as on a Les Paul Standard—giving them a more balanced tone with more brightness, snap, and attack. Other appointments have remained unchanged, such as the block fretboard inlays, Custom split diamond headstock inlay, and extensive binding used throughout the guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Inspired by Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom continues the Les Paul Custom’s tradition of elegance. It has a solid mahogany body with a maple cap for excellent tonal balance. The body features multi-ply binding on the top and back, which contributes to the model’s elegant appearance. A one-piece mahogany neck with a Modern Medium C profile is attached to the body with a long neck tenon for improved coupling, stability, and enhanced sustain. The bound ebony fretboard—a hallmark of the Les Paul Custom since its introduction—is equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets and adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays. The five-ply bound Gibson-style open book headstock is outfitted with Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, a Graph Tech® nut, and adorned with the Epiphone logo and the famous Custom split diamond inlay, both in mother-of-pearl. At the other end, the strings pass over a LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and anchor to a LockTone Stop Bar for excellent intonation and sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hand-wired electronics utilize premium components, including USA-made Gibson 490R and 498T humbucker™ pickups, CTS® volume and tone controls for each pickup, Mallory™ tone capacitors, and a Switchcraft® 3-way pickup selector toggle switch and 1\/4” output jack.

predecessors in a few significant ways. Instead of a solid mahogany body, it now had a solid maple top on a mahogany back - adding the clarity and bite that many rock guitarists sought. It also came standard with two humbuckers as opposed to three, providing additional picking clearance. And lastly it had a 14-degree peghead angle for reduced string tension. This set of features instantly became the new standard for the Les Paul Custom model, which has been produced continuously by Gibson ever since. This 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue was designed to be the final say in historical accuracy, tone and feel. Every detail and spec was meticulously revived by the skilled artisans at Gibson Custom Shop to provide an amazing, life-long vintage ownership experience. It features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45839112962183,"sku":"LPC68M2M000003185-606048","price":8199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/gibson-electric-guitars-gibson-custom-shop-1968-les-paul-custom-antique-viceroy-goldburst-murphy-lab-ultra-light-aged-w-custom-s-buckers-gibson-custom-shop-1968-les-paul-custom-antique-viceroy-goldburst-murphy-lab-ultra-light-aged-1258459300.jpg?v=1789146746"},{"product_id":"gibson-custom-shop-1968-les-paul-custom-cme-spec-2479984","title":"Gibson Custom Shop 1968 Les Paul Custom \"CME Spec\" 1980's Gold Burst VOS Chambered","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gibson Custom Shop represents the pinnacle of the brand’s craftsmanship, where history, artistry, and innovation converge to create instruments unlike any other.
