*Available for £5995 with payment by bank transfer. Email us at info@jordanguitars.co.uk to arrange discount* Collectible Gibson Custom Shop "Inspired By" Joe Bonamassa Aged Les Paul Goldtop. Number 89 of only 150 made and with a stunning factory aged finish.   It is an exclusive replica of a heavily modified 1955 Goldtop that passed through Bonamassa's father's guitar shop when Joe was just 11 years old. Produced as part of Gibson's elite "Inspired By" limited-run series, it is celebrated for its vintage aesthetic, unique electronics, and distinct historical specs.   Key features and specifications of this highly collectible guitar include: Body & Finish: Features a carved maple top paired with a light, weight-relieved two-piece mahogany back. The body boasts an Antique Goldtop finish on the front with contrasting black back, sides, and plastics (pickup rings, switch washer, and pickguard)   Neck & Profile: Fitted with a one-piece mahogany neck featuring a traditional chunky 1959 rounded profile, a 24 ¾-inch scale length, and a rosewood fingerboard with acrylic trapezoid inlays. The headstock is slightly narrower, akin to vintage 1950s models.    Electronics: Powered by a pair of Gibson's classic BurstBucker pickups (a BurstBucker 2 in the neck and a BurstBucker 3 in the bridge) with Alnico II magnets. It is wired with vintage CTS pots and "Bumble Bee" capacitors.    Hardware: Features lightly-aged nickel hardware, an ABR-1 bridge (without the retainer wire), an aluminum stopbar tailpiece, and Grover kidney tuners. A signature Bonamassa truss cover is also fitted.   Unique Appointments: The guitar features intentionally mismatched control knobs—amber top hats for the neck and gold top hats for the bridge—mirroring the quirky aesthetic of Joe's original modded guitar.    Collectability: Each guitar came with an exclusive hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) hand-signed by Joe Bonamassa himself.   Trades and part-exchange welcome – simple click ‘Sell Your’ Guitar’ at the top of the page to get started!   Don't forget to follow Jordan Guitars on the below links for daily videos of the latest guitars in stock:   www.facebook.com/jordanguitarsuk www.instagram.com/jordanguitars
