Topic: Selling Joe Bonamassa's 1998 Gibson Custom Shop Triple-Pickup ES-295

Selling this baby. Don't use it at all - someone might as well play it.

This 1998 Gibson Custom Shop Historic ES-295 is an absolute one-off and an extremely special guitar, regardless of its celebrity ownership. Custom color wine red, custom floral arm guard, nice big neck, Bigsby B-6, and of course the triple P-90s. They are wired like a Black Beauty Les Paul, so the middle position is the middle and bridge pickups together. The guitar originally had a plain-colored Bigsby or trapeze but Joe put the current gold B-6 Bigsby on. It stays in perfect tune, it is set up perfectly with its original size 11 strings.

Bought it in February 2012 from Holy Grail Guitars.

This is your chance to own a guitar Joe not only owned and used, but one he recorded for the title track of the Dust Bowl album.

Got it signed by Joe during his concert in Prague this year.

Joe recognizes all members of his tribe, they were his babies at one time, all you need.  But since this ain't a place to be scamming, the link mentioned above sets those unfamiliar with our quality levels of representation required from Joe Bonamassa forum members at ease over there on the LP forum!

Hey Rocket, I've always admired your way of expressing yourself, but not always understood the meaning.

Could you, please, be more specific about "our quality level of representation", so I can adjust the link above as per your advice?

Thanks and all the best,
Mikhail

Re: Selling Joe Bonamassa's 1998 Gibson Custom Shop Triple-Pickup ES-295

If I could ever could stop being so wrapped up in my rambling words...

No adjustment is necessary, Milkail.  All I was meant is Joe's Forum is the place to be forthright and truthful and any doubters anywhere else, other forums or auction sites, etc. only have to visit here and there is honest help and references galore, and bluffing and trying to dupe at any other forum, auction site, etc. can be run through a truth filter here.  There is a community with low tolerance for "malarkey" here.  Protection and integrity in one central depot-HERE!

For you, I mean you being a regular, stand up guy here is your credentials to be trusted on the Les Paul forum or anywhere else concerning "Joe info" and pretty much all else guitar realated! smile Thumbs UP!  I guess the social media places have their friendly gimmicks, but here it is simply respect, earned and shared.

You Rock ALWAYS, & Keep the Trustworthy Faith,
Rocket

Unfortunately, have to sell her. Price is considerably lowered: 8K USD.

Thanks.
