Re: Joe's Skinner Prototype and Magnatone Amp

In case you have trouble with the link, here is the part that matters, from Gibson...

"From its delectably faded Dirty Lemon finish, to its custom-wound humbucking pickups, to its precise top carve and neck profile, the Joe Bonamassa “Skinnerburst” 1959 Les Paul gets you as close as is humanly possible to a priceless artist’s guitar. Historically accurate binding colors, aged cellulose trapezoid inlays, hot-hide glue neck construction, and period-correct hardware all complement a breathtaking rendition of Joe’s constant stage and studio companion. Of 150 guitars hand-aged by unparalleled ageing artist Tom Murphy, 50 will be played and signed by Joe himself; a further 150 will be treated to Gibson Custom’s VOS process, making a Limited Edition of 300 guitars in total."

Re: Joe's Skinner Prototype and Magnatone Amp

Bonamassa is a hot commodity. Everyone trying to make a buck off Joe. Take a look at the VOS Skinnerburst on fleabay. That guy is trying to score. Just like others I've seen in the past. sad

So true.  Guess gotta give the guitar shop on ebay a little hand for offering an aged / signed for a G under so early out of the gate for these 50. (But .. guess he's not bound by Gibson ... and maybe no warrenty?)
