Re: Bonamassa Gibson LP BonaBurst Registry serial # "JOE B XXX"

I don't believe the JB goldtops are weight relieved but I do know the BonaBursts are.

Actually the gold tops are weight relieved too.

The caption with the hound should read. "If I lifted my leg, would it be mine?"
I love the background "color".

...ok!...i`ve been messing around with this Protools software for about 12 days now and i still have not got a clue what i`m doing....this has got to be the most user unfriendly software i have come across... but probably its just i`m too old!  neutral

...anyway!... some Stan for you!... gave up trying to do my rendition of Worlds Greatest Guitarist`s Django and just came up with a bit of a riff and threw some stuff over the top!...can anyone tell me how to `flatten` down a recording when you have finished?... i used `bounce`...put it in Corel Video Studio to do the fade at the end then converted it to mp3 to upload... i know there must be an easier way but i am buggered if i can work it out?!?!  hmm  ... anyway!..some Stan!

Re: Bonamassa Gibson LP BonaBurst Registry serial # "JOE B XXX"

New member and very recently joined the fanbase of JB.
Just a year ago I barely knew of him ... but I now have all his CD's (came with the guitar)
It was his live show that I checked out recently that won me over. He blew me away ....

Just added the JB #42 "BonaBurst" to my Les Paul collection. My sixth LP.
I bought it from Wildwood and the guitar is happily located, with an even more happy owner, in Oslo Norway.

I posted some pics and a little sound demo on the LP forum:

That works too. Beautiful guitar. A bit of trivia for you. Joe's tour burst has no pick guard. When I spoke to him before the show in Bonn this summer, he said the piece had fallen off due to loose screws and he's left it that way ever since. I guess he likes the look and anyhow, his pick never touches the body anyway.  wink

Re: Bonamassa Gibson LP BonaBurst Registry serial # "JOE B XXX"

Hi Folks,  I am Brian and I have BonaBurst #017 sitting beside me in Maryland.  Incredible guitar in looks, feel and sound!  I've had her since last Thursday and haven't stopped playing all week.  My other guitars are getting jealous.  The guys at Wildwood were great and provided a lot of long distance help.  I'm not much for buying guitars without playing them first but Lance helped me pick the one that met my requirements and he was dead on.

I'll leave mine on for now ...  big_smile
My next LP will most prabably be a Goldtop .. probably a R7.
I must say that the JB aged Goldtop, which there is about 200-250 (?) of, does interest me as well.
Are all of them sold ? Is eBay pretty much the only way to get one ?
Pricerange around $3500-4000 ?
