Epiphone Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard - Copper Iridescent with Hard Case
The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard in Copper Iridescent is a faithful recreation of one of Joe’s rarest guitars. Featuring a mahogany body with a maple cap, this Les Paul delivers a warm yet articulate tone. The rare Copper Iridescent finish, originally created for the 1955 NAMM Show, changes from brown to a gold metal flake in direct light. Equipped with a pair of Epiphone P-90 PRO pickups, CTS potentiometers, and Mallory capacitors, it offers classic 50s wiring for vintage tones. The Custom '59 Rounded C neck profile ensures a comfortable playing experience, while the long neck tenon enhances sustain and resonance. It comes complete with a brown and pink “Nerdville” graphic hardshell case. At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this guitar is a perfect blend of vintage style and modern playability for collectors and players alike.
