Gibson Joe Bonamassa Les Paul - Bonamassa Burst - Nevada Music UK

Buy this Les Paul Here - http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Guitars/Electric-Guitars/Limited-and-Collectable... Here's treat for all Joe Bonamassa fans - his latest Gibson Les Paul VOS Signature Model finished in a colour that has been dubbed "Bonamassaburst" - This is a Limited Edition model which will be made in very small batches of 25 - as of the writing of this review 75 have been made and Gibson are as yet unsure if any more will be issued so this is a unique chance to get your hands on a genuine rarity ...

The Gibson Joe Bonamassa Ltd Edition VOS Les Paul uses a 2-piece chambered Mahogany body with a carved Maple top, this is complimented by a 1 piece Mahogany neck and a 22 fret Rosewood fretboard with Acrylic Trapezoidal fret inlays. At the bottom of the neck the bell-shaped truss rod cover bears the "BONAMASSA" name to identify this model as a Joe Bonamassa signature model. The headstock has an Ebony overlay with the standard gold Gibson logo and the traditional Les Paul "Open Book" shaped headstock - it's also worth noting that the rear of the Gibson Les Paul Joe Bonamassa VOS has been finished in an Ebony gloss (Black) including the body, neck and rear of the headstock ...

The pick-ups are a Burstbucker 2 and a Burstbucker 3 although from the Gibson specifications it is unclear at which positions they are located, they have also been suffixed with "R" (Burstbucker 2) and "T"(Burstbucker 3). There is no official explanation withiin the Gibson specs as to what this stands for, so I'm hazarding a guess that the "R" stands for "Regular" and the "T" for "Tapped" as in "Coil-Tapped" - I may be wrong but that was the only logical conclusion I could arrive at ...The pick-ups are managed via the usual 2 x volume and 2 x tone rotary pots which incidentally use CTS pots and Bumble Bee capacitors and are joined by a 3 way toggle switch located as standard on the left hand shoulder of the instrument ...

The hardware on this beautiful Gibson Les Paul guitar consists of an ABR-1 bridge - which incidentally comes without the retainer wire along with an Aluminium stop-bar tailpiece which along with the pick-up covers and Kluson style machine heads have all been Nickel plated. The black plastic scratchplate is adorned with a Gold "Custom" transfer indicating that this model was derived from the Gibson Custom Shop and the Gibson Joe Bonamassa Ltd Edition Les Paul VOS is finished in a delightful 3-tone "Bonamassaburst"...

This outstanding Gibson Les Paul Limited Edition model comes with a Hardshell case and a Certificate of Authentication ...

DREAM TONE! oh my god! creammmyyyyyyyyyyyy

@Savatage420 That's how Joe does it, strings over the tailpiece. By doing this it lessens the tension on the strings and makes 11 gage strings feel like 10 gage strings and makes bending the strings a bit easier. He got the idea from Jimmy Page and Billy Gibbons.

Maybe it stands for Rhythm and Treble?

[SuckYourMumsHairyToe]

no joke ill give you 7 grand for it, inboxx?

[Jonwsm]

No, he's right. Rhythm and treble. Well done that man.

[Jonwsm]

Or is it regular and trem spacing? Like 490r and 498t.

[Jpalmieri4]

I believe r is rhythm, as in the neck pickup, and t is treble, the bridge pickup haha

Wrapping the strings over the tailpiece does not lesson the tension on the strings. Tuning to pitch requires the same tension on the string to bring it in tune. By wrapping the strings it does 3 things, 1) you can drop the stop bar down to the body which will creat more sustain 2) more string length = less effort to bend 3) less degree of angle from saddle to stop bar. Or, machine (purchase) spacers for under the saddle mounting bolts for solid contact to the body = more sustain.
