In this excerpt from The Collection: Joe Bonamassa, Joe tells Gibson TV host Mark Agnesi about his first encounters with the legendary Sunburst Les Paul™, commonly known as a ‘Burst Les Paul to the collectors out there, and where the love of these guitars and his association as the guy to talk to about these vintage guitars came from.
Everyone who loves Joe Bonamassa knows that he’s a Les Paul guy. But he’s also widely known as the guy who knows all there is to know about vintage Gibson Les Pauls!
So where did that start? From the first time he held a 1958 Sunburst Les Paul in 1993 to becoming one of the most recognized players associated with this iconic guitar, Joe’s journey into collecting guitars and his stories are a fascinating look into the world of collecting vintage guitars and just how addictive this love of finding the perfect vintage guitar can be. Hear how a chance encounter with a 1958 Les Paul at the age of 16 left a lasting impression and how he traded a Lincoln Town Car for an original ‘Burst Les Paul. All these cool stories about collecting guitars became part of his lore, and all contributed to how he “got it” when it came to understanding the love of the Gibson Les Paul and how he loved finding out and learning how each guitar neck and parts vary within the serial numbers and the years they were made.
Joe shares the pivotal moment in 2008 when he fully grasped the allure of these guitars after an eye-opening experience in Springfield, Missouri. Lucky enough to be part of a private audience with multiple Bursts, Joe began to understand the subtle differences between the 1958, 1959, and 1960 models. He tells Mark about his love of the slimmer necks of the 1960 models and the bigger frets as opposed to the smaller frets of the 1958 Les Paul models and how handling over 200 of these guitars has honed his ability to identify all-original instruments and spot fakes - he is a true professional when it comes to finding and identifying the iconic Sunburst Les Pauls. People started bringing them to his shows to identify them and learn about some of their history from Joe.
Joe’s advice for collectors is simple: play as many vintage Gibsons as possible. That way, as collectors, we can develop an instinctive feel for the real deal, just as Joe has over the years.

respect to Gibson for being cool with the strat in the background
Imagine gibson being afraid of guitar players knowing strats exist
Always great to hear joe talking about this !
People have preferences and the more you pay the more its worth. Fascinating.
Love listening to Joe talk Les pouls
I saw a '60 Burst as a kid, within arm's reach, probably in '79. This is a memory that will last a lifetime. And now, I'm playing the Murphy Lab and I'm very happy. What does Joe think of the Murphy Lab Les Paul Standard？
He spoke about that less than a year ago and said those Murphy Labs are as close to the vintage 58, 58, and 60's Les Pauls you will get and some are just as nice. Paraphrasing
Joe Perry recently said even some of the USA production line 50's Gibson LP Standards are as nice as the holy grail ones.
@@johnsmith-ug5tp
Thanks, I love Les Pauls of any era.
Respect to Gibson and Agnisi for doing this.
Bonamassas music is a taste thing (i love him, I know some don't)
But you have to admit the guy has a passion and a knowledge for these things that rivals people like norm who have been in the business their entire lives.
absolutely love my eb5 bass
only vintage sunburst les pauls? this dude became the advocate of les pauls in 2020s
Love the tones Joe is getting out of these beautiful LPs! They have a very distinct sound with a nice 'bite' to them. But still, my favourite Joe LP has to be Gary Rossington 1959 Custom, which Joe was rockin back in the day. Loved that tone!
Joe is a hero of the modern guitar age
I unfortunately don’t have the pocket for an original 1958-1960 Gibson Les Paul. I however worked and within some time and savings managed to buy a brand new Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul R8. I can’t say that it’s an original but it’s the next best thing. It is my #1. Why is that? Each time I pick it up puts a smile on my face like a kid in a candy store. I better stop talking because my Gibson ES-345 doesn’t like being called my #2 lol. Joe B earned what he is today, you couldn’t ask for a better guy to represent vintage Gibson’s.
Why they can't be like originals? Custom Shop is the highest level, and today's tech is so much better than 80 years ago. What differences would you point out for example?
@@mylogifyage
Simple answer, he bought half of them.
😂
Nice second generation ES-150 on the wall behind Joe during the first seconds 🤝💪😎 great guitar! Loves these 17” Archtops from the golden era with the single P90 👍💯

Yes! He's creepy.
They are $22000 now, 7K more than in 93. with same woods.
they are like 200-500.000$
@lecanius Hahahahahah :D. The way Mark Agnesi says it's crazy, out of mind. :D They are 500K and Production CS model is about 22K for 59, with Brazilian Rosewood like vintage ones. It's crazier than ever now. :D
