Bonamassa Les

Motorcycle · 08-26-2008, 07:56 PM

Played the Inspired by Joe Bonamassa Les Paul yesterday.

$3,799.00.

I loved the look, feel and tone. Just loved the black back, pick-guard etc...then I took a closer look. Man someone screwed the pooch on the relic details on this one. Too bad - I was all set to go for it. I'm still tempted, but I know my self too well, those details would bug me so much with time that I'd dump it. Gibson either has to execute this better or drop the price.

Anyone else pick up on this ?

I've noticed it in pics. Not that great of a relicing job for sure..

You might be better off buying a goldtop and having HR do the Bonamassa treatment.

I've seen some really bad pics. Checking lines that extended into the worn-down-to-the-wood areas. It's like it was done by someone that didn't understand what checking is.
I hope they're all not like that.

I agree it's a nice guitar, but someone did screw up the checking..

Is it like that on all the guitars?

Dunno...I've only played a Rossington and never checked details at all.
