Epiphone Les Paul Standard Joe Bonamassa 1955 Electric Guitar with Hardcase, Copper Iridescent

Inspired by Joe Bonamassa’s Brownest Collectible

The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard is an inspired re-creation of the renowned guitarist’s rare, iridescent-finished axe he dubbed “The Brown Thing.” This solidbody electric guitar boasts traditional maple-over-mahogany construction alongside a rounded C-shape mahogany neck with a period-correct long tenon and an easy-playing laurel fingerboard. A set of P-90 Pro pickups infuse this Les Paul with an ear-grabbing, vintage-flavored bite that’s reinforced by high-quality CTS pots and Mallory capacitors. A LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and Epiphone Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons round out the Bonamassa ’55 Les Paul Standard’s hardware. You also get a hard case emblazoned with Bonamassa’s illustrious “Nerdville” graphic. Suppose you’re a fan of vintage guitars with head-turning visual appeal. In that case, the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard is precisely what you need to satisfy your appetite when you’re craving something unique.

1955 Les Paul Standard — a.k.a. “The Brown Thing”
The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard was inspired by one of Joe’s rarer finds: a 1955 Les Paul Standard he nicknamed “The Brown Thing.” The original axe is a prime mid-’50s specimen, boasting typical Les Paul Standard specs, including P-90 pickups and a custom iridescent finish — a rarity at the time, as nearly all Les Pauls produced were Gold Tops. When asked about his ‘55 Les Paul Standard during a 2020 interview with Guitar.com, Joe stated, “It’s … a Les Paul Standard, just painted in a strange, unique color — this is why I do this … it’s all about finding preserved models of standard guitars or finding the odd fellow.” We have many fiercely loyal P-90 fans here at Sweetwater. These guitarists know that P-90 pickups offer a unique tonal palette that is distinct from — and complements — humbuckers and traditional single-coils. Epiphone’s P-90 Pro soapbars are heavily inspired by Seth Lover’s original designs. 

Traditional Les Paul construction
The Epiphone Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard boasts traditional Les Paul construction, along with a couple of modern tweaks that today’s players are sure to appreciate. It all starts with a solid mahogany body, which provides you with a wonderfully resonant acoustic foundation. A maple top is also on hand, infusing the guitar’s acoustic tone with extra clarity, definition, and high-end snap. The guitar’s neck sports a rounded C profile, which gives it a substantial, hand-filling feel, along with a period-correct long tenon, which many believe is an essential part of what gives vintage Les Pauls their characteristic sustain. The Joe Bonamassa 1955 Les Paul Standard’s contemporary updates include a smooth-playing laurel fingerboard and a near-bulletproof gloss polyurethane finish.
