Epiphone LTD Joe Bonamassa Black Beauty Les Paul Custom, Ebony Overview
Joe Bonamassa has once again partnered with Epiphone to lovingly replicate one of his most-prized guitars, his "Black Beauty" Les Paul Custom. When Bonamassa visited Hauer Music in Centerville Ohio he walked away with a 1958 Gibson™ Les Paul™ Custom in black - otherwise known as the “Black Beauty,” one of the rarest electric guitars made and one of the most coveted. This limited-edition recreation has a 50s neck profile for an era-correct feel, LP Custom bound body and neck, non-weight relieved mahogany body, unique vintage tuners, Orange Drop® capacitors, CTS® potentiometers, two Epiphone ProBucker™ 2 and one ProBucker™ 3 pickups, Switchcraft® output jack, and classic black hardshell case with gold hardware and yellow gold plush lining.
