I see an Unaged Goldtop went up on ebay today ... #274.  Appears to be first owner, but never posted up on the Registry.  A BIN of $5,650 or Make offer.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gibson-Custom-J … 4181ded6db

I believe this JBGTLP was up a couple of weeks ago at a higher number.  (Not many seller feedbacks, but I remember the seller had a Peter Frampton LP up at the same time, and I see that completed transaction received a positive feedback post. An ebay'r since '02)

Not affiliated.

no back headstock photo could possibly not be a original 300.
we will see

Headstock photo was added. I made an offer on it, but it didn't get a reply. I took a shot, since I like un-aged guitars. Artificial aging seems wrong to me. I'd prefer authentic wear. :)

I guess it was an unworthy offer, but I went in at about what wildwood was selling the bonabursts for.  Maybe the original 300 gold tops are valued much higher?

Hey fellas, #46 appeared today on the LP forum: http://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/showt … p?t=189753

Looks like all the knobs are matching?

Re: Joe Bonamassa Les Paul Registry (Serial Numbers "BONAMASSA XXX")

Thanks Jim ... kinda closes a chapter on #46 ... that was on ebay a month ago ... and begins a new one. smile  (or more specifically ... answers my question ... what happened to #46? smile )

My post then: https://forum.jbonamassa.com/viewtopic. … 45#p320045

(the ebay link is still good ... didn't notice the matching knobs on the listing ... good eyes!!)

I occasionally lurk on LPF ... that fellow has a few LP's I believe ... nice he adds a 300 to his stable (think he has a Skinner.)

JBLP#251 (unaged) ... thank you Ron.

Many congrats Jonny. Is it blue or gold, aged or unaged? Personally, I'd love an unaged candy apple blue, they're beautiful.

I'm looking forward to seeing a video of you playing her sometime. smile

Thanks a lot Ron! It was made in 2012 so I'm not sure, may I ask how you can tell if it is one of the originals?

It doesn't say the production number on the back like the custom shops, it just has the serial number. I know it's 276 because I typed it into the Gibson serial number finder.

If I'm not mistaken, BONAMASSA on the truss rod cover in block letters indicates its one of the original run, after that, its a signature.

Your goldtop is not one if the original 300. The original 300 have BONAMASSA in the back of the headstock then a number 1 to 300. They were made I believe in 2007ish. This registry is for the these original. Don't get me wrong your guitar is awesome also I just do not want anyone to be confused. Enjoy your new goldtop . Play her often cheers Ron
