Topic: Les Paul with bigsby

Hello all-
I was just curious if anyone knows anything about the les Paul joe uses on last kiss and so many roads on this most current tour. I think I heard somewhere that there is going to be another JB signature les Paul with a bigsby.

Thanks everyone!

Re: Les Paul with bigsby

They need a JB signature model with a fantastic quilt or flame top like his... I was drooling over his les pauls all night at the concert

Re: Les Paul with bigsby

I swear I think thats the les paul he was playing in the rock plaza video.  It has a wild looking wood grain to it and so does the bigsby LP he's got now.  All thats different is the plastic pickguard and rings plus the bigsby.

Re: Les Paul with bigsby

after doing a bit of research i think it is the same guitar as well.... what is that color?


Thanks Logan

Re: Les Paul with bigsby

Re: Les Paul with bigsby

Haaa.. honestly.. its the first 58 historic LP that I have been playing for 8 years.. Dave swapped the plastic to black and put the bigsby on it.. totally made it a new guitar.. its quite nice really..

Re: Les Paul with bigsby

The necks are so huge on those 58's, I guess Ill just have to man up and suck it up. Ill start looking for one like that after i get the JB Goldtop :-)

Man that would be awesome for a new JB sig2 !  I just missed out on his Goldtop sig because I purchased a Gibson '58 reissue prior to the release.  Where did you hear of a new sig?

'67 and '74 Fender Twin Reverbs, '74 Marshall 1987 lead mkII, Metro Superlead 100. Pedals from TC Electronic, Ibanez, Dunlop, BK Butler, Electro-Harmonix, Fulltone, Maestro/Gibson, Loopmaster switching, VoodooLab, Boss. Gibson and Fender guitars, Dimarzio pickups.

Re: Les Paul with bigsby

It'd be a nice $799 Epiphone JB Sig!

Since 2010, Bonamassa fans have taken advantage of my JB friend discount = my cost + shipping. cool

Re: Les Paul with bigsby

I have a 2001 58 Historic (Serial# 811066) and I LOVE the neck on it. I bet you'd get used to it quickly.

Re: Les Paul with bigsby

I bet Bigsbies would really help the tone on a Les Paul since the 2 together weight about 13 lbs.!
