Today I received my back ordered Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Les Paul.
It is an amazing guitar - and not just 'for the money.' It is amazing
period.

You can take a peek at and read about it here:
Epi JB LP

I know this is the Fender forum, so with that in mind, just know that I
added this to my Fender collection: a Strat, a Mustang I and a FM212.
I will soon be adding the Fender Blues Deluxe.

Gotta go - Joe is calling

Congrats Bivie..I have come to the conclusion no one really cares about the guitars heritage deep down they all just like guitars! (ducking for cover from any backlash)

I don't have any pics, yet, but you can go to the link in my first post and see it. It's a gold top. Thanks for the congrats.

Congrats. I understand the neck profile on the Bonamassa LP is one of the chunkier ones that Gibson makes. I have a set of Seymour Duncan, Joe Bonamassa Limited Edition pickups sitting in a box on my shelf. I need to get a guitar to put them into and try them out.

I was worried about the chunkier neck. After being used to my Strat, I was afraid it would be too big. But it feels great, and it's not too big for me.

As of late, I've been wishing my MIM Strat had a bigger neck radius, so this JB really solves that problem for me. One ax doesn't trump the other, though, because they both have entirely different sounds.

As far as the pickups ---- SWEET! If you have some on the shelf, at least find a broom or a BB gun or something to put them on. They are Burstbuckers, and did I mention SWEET

Now I want to get some Seymours for my Strat.

I got a pic, but it's not very good. My phone doesn't take great pics, and the lighting is poor. But, yes sir, she's my baby...no sir, I don't mean maybe (hey, how come we don't have any musical notes in the smileys?)...
