The Gibson Joe Bonamassa 1957 Les Paul Gold Top Aged is a premium signature electric guitar from Gibson Custom crafted in collaboration with blues‑rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa. It is based on the classic 1950s Les Paul design with a carved maple top over a mahogany back and an aged Gold Top finish that evokes the look and feel of a vintage guitar lived‑in over decades. This model combines timeless Les Paul tonewoods with artist‑inspired details to deliver both collectible appeal and high‑end performance.

The neck is constructed from one‑piece mahogany with a 1950s‑style rounded profile and is set into the body to enhance resonance and sustain. It’s paired with a rosewood fingerboard containing 22 medium‑jumbo frets and classic trapezoid inlays, giving a comfortable feel for rhythm work and expressive soloing. The 24.75″ scale length supports the familiar Les Paul string tension and dynamic response that players historically associate with vintage Gibson instruments. 

Electronics on this Joe Bonamassa model consist of a pair of Gibson Burstbucker humbuckers (Burstbucker 2 in the neck and Burstbucker 3 in the bridge) wired to independent volume and tone controls and a three‑way toggle switch, providing a wide tonal palette — from warm, rounded neck tones to more articulate, punchy bridge sounds. The aged finish, traditional hardware appointments, and artist heritage make this guitar a compelling choice for players seeking classic Les Paul tone with the imprimatur of a contemporary blues legend.
