About Joe Bonamassa
Joe Bonamassa needs no introduction, his career is certainly unique. Joe is an American blues and blues rock guitarist, singer, composer and songwriter. At the age of four he learned to play the guitar from his father, who owned a music store. When he was twelve years old he was already playing with B.B. King, and at the age of 14 he was invited to provide musical accompaniment to a Fender event. After a band arrangement, he started a solo career that made him famous. His first album, A New Day Yesterday, was released in 2000. After a concert tour to promote the album, Joe and his fellow musicians went back into the studio in 2002 to record the next album, So It's Like That. The second album is more rock-oriented than his other works and reached number one on the Billboard blues charts. Over the next few years and albums, Joe and his band toured alongside BB King and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. In 2010, Joe Bonamassa joined forces with Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian to form the band Black Country Communion, who have released five albums to date.
A new jewel from Joe's extensive collection
Joe is not only a gifted guitarist, but also a passionate guitar collector who has amassed a huge collection of instruments from different eras of music. Joe's guitars are just as special and unique as his playing style. You don't necessarily have to spend a fortune to sound like Joe, the most important thing is the right technique and the right feel. Epiphone proves this with the new Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard Copper Iridescent, with which you can enjoy the Bonamassa sound at an unbeatable price.
Classic modell with a modern touch
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 flakes 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.
