Description
Renowned guitarist Joe Bonamassa has one of the world's most enviable guitar collections. One prized instrument is a 1955 Les Paul Standard with a very rare Copper Iridescent finish that was originally created for display at the 1955 NAMM Show. As Joe noted, "From a distance, it looks brown, but in direct light, it has gold metal flake in the finish." Epiphone's Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard faithfully recreates this special guitar. It features the same Copper Iridescent color, a pair of Epiphone P-90 PRO pickups wired to CTS® potentiometers and Mallory™ capacitors, a Custom '59 Rounded C neck profile, long neck tenon, and a "Nerdville" graphic hardshell case.
