Not just any Les Paul - Joe Bonamassa's favorite Les Paul

Joe Bonamassa is a certified guitar hero, he packs the house every night and is revered as a master of tone. The Gibson Custom Joe Bonamassa "Skinnerburst" 1959 Les Paul Standard is an extremely-detailed replica of Joe's favorite axe. Gibson spent countless hours going over every inch of this gorgeous electric guitar to re-create every detail down to the custom neck profile and carve of the maple top. This isn't another off-the-shelf guitar; this is as close to Joe Bonamassa's "Skinnerburst" '59 Les Paul as you can get without stealing the original.

Classic PAF sound with a pair of Gibson humbuckers

If you've ever seen Joe play, then you've seen Skinnerburst. And if you've heard Skinnerburst, then you know it has killer tone. Joe and Gibson Custom loaded the Gibson Custom Joe Bonamassa '59 Les Paul Standard with a Burstbucker #3 in the neck and a Custombucker at the bridge. Both of these pickups use period-correct wire and a precise number of turns to create the tone we all know and want. You'll love the tight low end, complex midrange, and sweet highs you'll get out of Skinnerburst - it's everything you expect when you pick up a Les Paul! We know tone at Sweetwater, and the Gibson Custom Joe Bonamassa '59 Les Paul Standard delivers it by the truckload!

Gibson Custom Shop quality and craftsmanship

Gibson's Custom Shop took extra care with every detail of the Joe Bonamassa "Skinnerburst" 1959 Les Paul Standard. Every Gibson Custom guitar receives an ultra-precise Plek Pro setup for optimized playability. The fretboard and nut have an incredibly accurate intonation and a "just right" feel. And little touches, like the figured maple top and the accurately-aged hardware remain true to the original 1959 Les Paul Standard that Skinnerburst pays homage to.
