Epiphone Limited Edition Joe Bonamassa '60 Les Paul Standard 2020 - Norm Burst

Some guitars just make sense the moment you pick them up — this is one of those.

This 2020 Limited Edition Epiphone Joe Bonamassa ’60 Les Paul Standard in Norm Burst is modeled after Joe’s pristine original 1960 Les Paul discovered at Norm’s Rare Guitars in Tarzana, California. The finish is rich, vibrant, and classic — that unmistakable Norm Burst glow with a beautifully flamed AA maple cap over a mahogany body that looks every bit as good in person as it does under lights.

And yes — the Bigsby makes this guitar.

It adds character, movement, and vibe without sacrificing tuning stability. This one has been professionally set up and plays incredibly well, with low action, excellent responsiveness, and rock-solid tuning even with Bigsby use. It’s smooth, expressive, and addictive in the best way.

Tonally, it delivers exactly what you want from a ’60-style Les Paul. The Epiphone ProBucker™ humbuckers, crafted with the same materials as Gibson BurstBuckers, paired with 50s-style wiring and Mallory™ tone capacitors, give you clarity, warmth, and dynamic control. Roll back the volume and it cleans up beautifully; dig in and it growls with authority.

Condition:

This guitar is in excellent overall condition. The top, sides, hardware, and neck present extremely clean. There are some light surface scratches on the back, visible only under certain angles — purely cosmetic and exactly what you’d expect from careful home use. No breaks, no repairs, no structural issues. It’s been played, enjoyed, and properly cared for.

Included:

• Original Epiphone Joe Bonamassa specialty hard case (excellent condition)

• Factory hardware & electronics

• Professionally set up and ready to go

This is a killer Les Paul that blends vintage inspiration with modern reliability — and the Bigsby elevates it into something truly special. If you’re a Bonamassa fan, a Les Paul traditionalist with a taste for expression, or just someone who wants a dialed-in, inspiring instrument, this one delivers.

Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and insured.

⏳ Quick note

These guitars don’t usually sit. Most are purchased within 3–7 days, and I regularly hear from watchers after the listing has already sold. If this one’s on your radar, now’s the window!
