I don't think an actual list was ever created for the bonaburts in # order like the Aged/Non Aged J.B.Goldtops were from the beginning....
Seems something worth doing though.
All the best,
Andrew.

No one in particular......it was the person who had the time,initiative and patience to start it & keep up with the updates...(additions/deletions)

That was mine, friends. I ended the auction early and decided to keep it. Moving a Fender CS Tele instead.

Re: Bonamassa Gibson LP BonaBurst Registry serial # "JOE B XXX"
On a side note, I'm contemplating sending her to Gibson to have the top refinished in black to match the back and sides, as well as having Joe's sig pickups installed. I might swap the guard and knobs as well to match Joe's Bonablack (52 burst converted to black). I got a white Strat, and I thought it would be cool to have a black LP to go with it. I don't really want to buy any more guitars.

Even if I go with Candy Apple Blue? Hahaha. I dunno, I'm getting kind of tired of looking at the burst. Sacrilege, I know.

Serioulsy I'd paint another Les Paul Candy Apple Blue before you painted over this Bonaburst,
I think you would ruin the value of yours since it was one of the original run.....
P/s if you change out the Pups...make sure you keep the original ones....you never know the next owner may want them installed back in...:).

I know what you mean. I did think a bit about the resale value, but I don't really care about it that much. If a refinish of the top makes me want to pick up and play it more, than it has done its job. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling these guitars won't really appreciate that much in value anyway. If I do follow through, Gibson CS will get the work. I figure that will count for a little, even though it won't be original. I had no plans of junking BB 2 and 3 either. Right now, I'm thinking either Black or Candy Apple Blue.

Joe B 120 Bonaburst is happily residing in Minneapolis MN
Was an organized Bonaburst registry ever developed?
I am, therefore I must be, I think
