Ultimate Vintage Blues Tone! The classic tone of this new model comes courtesy of Gibson's famed Burstbucker(TM) pickups. BurstBuckers(TM) replicate the sound of Gibson's original "Patent Applied For" pickups - the pickups that gave the '59 Les Paul Standard its legendary sound. The neck pickup is a Burstbucker-2 and is wound in the range of Gibson's '57 Classic.
While most Goldtops feature cream plastic parts and a brown back, the new Bonamassa departs from that tradition with black pickup mounting rings, a black pickguard, black toggle washer and black cavity control covers. The back, sides and neck of the guitar are also black creating a unique and striking Black/Gold combination.
Each new Limited Edition Joe Bonamassa Les Paul Goldtop Outfit comes with a replica Lifton-style hardshell case and a certificate of authenticity personally hand signed by Joe Bonamassa.
