Gibson USA 2016 Limited Run Joe Bonamassa Les Paul (Tomato Soup Burst) Overview
The Gibson Les Paul Joe Bonamassa 'Tomato Soup Burst' is a real player's guitar. These guitars are a part of a highly limited 150-piece run. Joe specified these guitars be loaded with two proprietary Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups, the 52-Nc and 53-Nc. The Les Paul Joe Bonamassa 'Tomato Soup Burst' Limited Edition may be the quintessential collector's piece for the die-hard Bonamassa fan.
The basis of the Les Paul Joe Bonamassa "Tomato Soup Burst" Signature is a great '60s-style Les Paul. Every detail has been meticulously specified by Joe to sound and play like those highly sought after vintage instruments. A SlimTaper neck profile is among the most comfortable and popular offered by Gibson, and the electronics cavity has been handwired with period-correct orange drop capacitors. The AAA flame maple top caps the mahogany body, making a stunning visual statement. The power of the Les Paul Joe Bonamassa "Tomato Soup Burst" Signature comes courtesy of a pair of proprietary Joe Bonamassa signature Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups. The Duncan 52-Nc and 53-Nc humbuckers deliver the clear-but-muscular performance of many of Gibson's vintage PAF designs, but tweaked to Joe's preferences. And you'll only find these pickups on the Tomato Soup Burst LP. Get one in your hands and get closer to Joe's iconic tone. Limited edition of 150 pieces only!
