The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom with Bigsby, Antique Ebony is a classy, stage-ready spin on Joe’s rare two-pickup Black Beauty. It boasts an all-mahogany body in Antique Ebony with aged multi-ply binding, matched to a 1959 Rounded Medium C mahogany neck and a bound ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays. The multi-ply bound Kalamazoo-style headstock carries the split-diamond inlay and a low-friction Graph Tech nut, while gold hardware completes the look for proper vintage swagger
Bringing the classic Les Paul sound, you get a pair of ProBucker Custom humbuckers wired to individual volume and tone controls with quality CTS pots, serving up versatile, vintage-leaning tones. A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge teams with the Bigsby B70 vibrato for smooth shimmer and reliable return, and Grover Imperial tuners keep everything tidy through long sets. It ships in a hardshell case with Joe’s “Nerdville” graphics, making this limited model feel every bit as special as it looks
Heritage Black Beauty style
The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa ’59 Les Paul Custom with Bigsby, Antique Ebony leans into that iconic, tuxedo-cool look. An all-mahogany body in Antique Ebony is framed by aged multi-ply binding, while the bound 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock wears the split-diamond inlay with pride. Gold hardware ties it all together, giving you vintage swagger before you’ve hit a single note. It’s a guitar with proper stage presence, classic lines, and premium detailing that pops under lights
Comfortable 1959 feel
A 1959 Rounded Medium C mahogany neck keeps things comfy for long sessions, with a bound ebony fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets making bends smooth and intonation tidy along the length of the neck. The low-friction Graph Tech nut helps tuning glide cleanly and stay put, so you can dig in without the strings catching. It’s a fast, familiar carve that rewards a light touch and feels broken-in from the first chord
Expressive Bigsby shimmer
A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge pairs with a Bigsby B70 for smooth, controllable vibrato that returns to pitch with confidence. Grover Imperial tuners add a touch of old-school class and keep things steady through wide bends and heavy sets, while the gold plating looks the part. It’s a road-ready hardware package built for musical wobble, solid sustain and quick, reliable string changes between numbers
ProBucker tone
A matched pair of ProBucker Custom humbuckers dishes out articulate, vintage-leaning tones with plenty of punch and clarity. Individual volume and tone controls run on quality CTS pots, giving a wide, usable sweep from bright sparkle to thick, singing sustain. It ships with a hardshell case featuring Joe’s Nerdville graphics, so you’re gig-ready straight out of the box. Versatile, musical and dialled-in for real-world playing
