That's close enough Kat.
Here is the full description from Joe himself....

1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard in sunburst. Serial # 0-0137 indicates that it is one of the first batch of 1960 Les Paul’s produced. The early 60’s are virtually identical to 1959. They share the big neck profile, aniline dye that has the propensity to fade if exposed to sunlight. This particular example is named “Batman” by me and “The Babe” by its former owner and one of my great friends and fellow collector. I decided to rename the guitar to pay tribute to the unique factory installed Bigsby tailpiece and unique batman style cosmetic flange under the ABR-1 bridge. Ordered in 59 and delivered in early 1960 to its loving owner of 51 years. You say you want one just like this? Well you are in luck because Gibson reissued over 200 of them as collectors choice #3. The guitar resides happily in California.

Not my field of expertise so I won't be offering up ten or even five but I'd like to think Joe has played a Rickenbacker at some stage.
I'm sure he probably owns at least one but can't recall seeing him play one.

Lester..

Joe just happen to post up an iGram picture over the weekend ... he may be bending a bit on that ...

I will jump in the mix here to at least get things moving with the trivia question.  I will preface by saying I don't have a trivia question to move things forward but hopefully I can at least contribute here and someone else can then ask the next question.  Maybe we can get to the answer by committee. 

I also am not 100% sure if the question is just asking for 7 different guitars in general that aren't Gibsons or Fenders or 7 different guitars by 7 different manufacturers.  I don't have 7 different manufacturers off the top of my head.  We could probably get close to 7 different ones just by going back and looking at the line-up for the Vienna Opera House show and the vast array of guitars Joe assembled for that gig.

Anyway, here are 7 different guitars from me that I know Joe has used specific to live/recording situations:

Ernie Ball Music Man Petrucci Baritone
Ernie Ball Music Man Dark Lord
Ernie Ball Music Man Custom Double Neck
Ernie Ball Music Man "Big Poppa" one off
Yamaha LJX36C Acoustic
Alvarez Yairi Acoustic
Gigliotti Joe Bonamassa GT Custom

I guess one could technically stretch the definition of "Gibson" and argue that Epiphone is a separate company and then use Joe's Epiphone Les Paul Models as a couple examples too.  But.....you could also argue Epiphone is part of Gibson.  In any case, there is a start.  Have at it everyone.  I look forward to seeing what else anyone comes up with.

Nice work, Konkman! The other brand I would have added to the list is Martin. I know Joe used a few for the Vienna show/DVD.

sorry I only look at the guitars.. is there someone behind the 59??

I'm an anyone, and yes I do have a question...

What do Adele, Keith Urban, David Bowie, & Joe Bonamassa all have in common besides humanity and musicianship?!

Of course the answer is a bit trickier than you might imagine given the Rocket spin...   (read as you are bound to guess incorrectly )

Yes, offstage Joe Bonamassa's eyes are indeed green-hued...

Onstage however, they turn Blue (that's actually cyan) to deep blue.  ...depends on the material!
