I looks like that les paul that he used in that instructional DVD.  It has a really unique flame on it.  He had the bigsby and the black hardware on it because he said it fell out of favor and he wanted to bring it out again.  And that put an new life on it.

That's just what it looks like to me and I could totally be wrong.

It would be sweet if they made that into a JB model especially with that sweet flame , its beautiful.

Yes, it was that one and droolingly gorgeous, one of the most beautiful flametops I've seen. He played it because he used the bigsby a lot on some of the songs. It has one of his Bonamassa truss rod covers. Photos over on JBXP. The very special one he broke out last night was the '65 Trini Lopez special in cherry burst. He also played an ES-5 with P90's. I have the entire show on close up front row video and it will be up on yt when I get the time. He used the same pedal setup as last time and had one of his Fender Tweeds.

I'm trying to pick up on the lingo to keep you gearheads at bay, 'cause there is always someone asking about pedals, amps, gits and such of which I have barely a clue. If I follow him around like a bloodhound, so be it! lol (did I get it right?) I got photos of his pedals which looked the same as last time. You know, wires, knobs, boxes and such.... wink
