Gibson USA 2016 Limited Run Joe Bonamassa Signature Les Paul (Tomato Soup Burst) Overview
The Gibson Les Paul Joe Bonamassa "Tomato Soup Burst" Signature is both a player's guitar and the crown jewel of any Gibson or Joe Bonamassa fan and collector. These guitars are a part of a highly limited 50-piece run that are hand-signed by Mr. Bonamassa himself. Joe loaded the Tomato Soup Burst Les Paul with two proprietary Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups and a Bigsby B7 Vibrato. The Bigsby can be removed without leaving any visible holes or markings, and Gibson also includes a traditional stop tailpiece so if a Bigsby isn't your thing, you can revert to the traditional Les Paul-style bridge and tailpiece setup.
Only 50 of these Les Paul Joe Bonamassa "Tomato Soup Burst" Signature Limited Editions have been distributed worldwide, with each receiving its own unique serial number. Each case is hand signed and numbered by Joe Bonamassa. And you'll find a signed pickguard inside the case. At Joe's request, the pickguards have not been mounted to allow you to decide how you prefer the instrument to look.
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.Proprietary Seymour Duncan HumbuckersThe 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. Don't miss out on a real collector's piece!
