Re: Joe Bonamassa's '68 Gibson Les Paul Standard Goldtop on eBay

Well, I got to $15K before I decided I that was it and pulled out of the bidding.

I wonder if someone on here got it in the end.  If so, no hard feelings.  Congratulations to them and I hope they really enjoy the guitar!  wink

Could not go past 15K myself neither - a bit of bitter in the mouth anyway - but someone just works harder.  cool  big_smile

I don't care for them myself and apparently someone else didn't because by late 1956 they replaced them with buckers.
Goes to show that there are some fans of Joe out there with deep pockets. Would like to see it hit 20k.

Know what your saying ,I'm all into buckers,we even put them in my sons Tele at one time,but I gotta tell ya I heard an old boy in Memphis,playing a St. Blues axe that had P-90's in her, through an old Sunn amp,and let me tell ya son,it was as pure delta blue's as you've ever heard it. So they all have their place I think. cool
