Epiphone Ltd. Ed. "2015" Joe Bonamassa Les Paul Standard w/ Bigsby® Outfit

 

[lunchbox]

I like the color, could do w/o the Bigsby.

 

[XTN]

Needs three pickups.

 

[Breezin]

At first look it didn't do anything for me, but after looking at a few more times I really like it. I will very likely get one.

The PB never really appealed to me,
IMO that color has been over used.

Thoughts on new Bonamassa Standard

Looks like a great gitfiddle.
Just not my style.

Don't mind the Bigsby, I'd take a pass on the color.

I was looking at this today, what is the price and when does it go on sale,
I like the bigsby,

Should be hitting an Epi dealer near you any day now... probably priced the same as the other Joe Boners.... $700 or thereabouts...

That woulda been a great candidate for a racing stripe...

I would think it would be a little more than the PB version, based on the difference with the two Gary Clark Jnr models, with or without Bigsby. I would be surprised to see this in Canada for close to $900 given current exchange rate.

My first concern always... is quality compared to Gibson...


Burstbuckers though!

 

[El Kabong]

I'll definitely be picking one up at some point... and those Burstbuckers will be the first thing I yank outta there...

 

[Heavy Blue]

Very nice! Now if they would only make it left handed. I always wanted a LP w/Bigsby and the green is killer too. I know a lot of folks on here will yank the stock pups out but I rather like the BB2 & 3 that it comes with if the set in my Epi +top are any indication.

Buying Gibson pickups are like playing Roulette... sometimes you get a winner, but usually the house wins! I've got a dozen or so sets sitting on the shelf here and out of those maybe 1 or 2 were acceptable... but nowhere near as good as the sets they were replaced with. The BBs in my first Epi Bonamassa were replaced with SD Bonamassas... now there's a set of pickups I can dig into. BBs... not so much so...

I like the Bigsby, could do without the colour

 

[notjoeaverage]

I actually said out loud as I scrolled down

"But it's ... Green"

 

[wwit]

I like it.


But I don't need it. I already have my JBLP needs covered. I like the color. Bigsby's have there use, limited as they are though...or at least for me it would get only limited use. I have one on my Gretsch and barely touch the whammy bar.

But it is cool

 

[El Kabong]

First sighting... kinda... available for pre-order at Andertons for £599.00 (app. US$900)... available Nov 1st...

 

[Eugeniuss]

That is getting in overpriced territory.

 

[El Kabong]

Its U.K....land of overpricing... I anticipate it being cheaper elsewhere...
