I have one. Ive owned a ton of “nicer” guitars. I’ve used boutique pickups as well in owned guitars. This is the best one I’ve ever played by a mile. It feels amazing and sounds unreal great. Complaining about scarf joints is not something I will ever do, it does not make it sound different and actually makes the neck stronger. Also over time wood that isn’t a single piece isn’t prone to warping as much. The profile of the neck can’t be talked about enough, it’s PERFECT. And the pickups are excellent, there is zero need to change them. Wiring is great, it’s an awesome guitar and comes with a high quality case. The gripes are 100% from people who haven’t played one and also might even have Gibsons that barely edge out over these newer Epiphones on quality. For the money you don’t need a Gibson these past few years unless it’s that time in your life you really want to own one.
Joe is smart to do this with Epiphone...more people can own these and it promotes both parties to more people. I will be seeing Joe in Phoenix this weekend when he plays a show...looking forward to seeing every guitar he plays!
My Dad got his a few weeks ago. I love it. Sounds great. The color is great. And the case is nice. AND Dad got his from JBs website and got a pair of meet and greet tix. We're seeing him in concert next week and meeting him before hand.
I was lucky enough to get one when they first came out. I love everything about it. Great looking guitar (the cream plastics are perfect) which plays and sounds as good as it looks.
I love my 55 Bonamassa. Lowered the action just a tad, but the rest of the setup was on point. I paid $721 shipped to my door. Looks great, plays ground, sounds great. I've actually been playing it over my Gibson Standard Gold Top with P90's. Definitely one of my favorite purchases this year.
@@csharp57 No, they're a tad oversized but not quite as big as his. I tried to put a Petrucci Jazz 3 Pick between the top of the pickup and body and it wouldn't fit.
I have two of the JB '62 335 reissues: one with the "signature neck" that never sees the light of day, and a regular one that I'm going to convert to a hard-tail (vibrato doesn't hold tune). It specs out about as close to a real '62 Gibson 335 (5-ply laminate instead of 3-ply), Gibson Burstbucker 2 and 3, CTS pots with Mallory caps, as you'll find at the price point.
I just ordered one for the following reasons: I’m just an intermediate player who wants to have fun. I have a Strat, Tele and a few acoustics. I have been looking at Les Pauls, but just couldn’t justify the cost. I know that buying an expensive guitar won’t make me a better player. So this one will hopefully make playing fun, which makes me play more and hopefully eventually play better. I like the sound of the P90 pickup. I like the color. So all in all is it for professional musicians? Who the heck am I to judge. Will it be fun to play and sound good? I hope so. A decent guitar for under 1K, I think is a good investment. Good luck to everyone and have fun playing 👍✌️☮️
Genuinely don't understand the Joe Hate lobby. Is it just jelousy? The man is a hell of a player and has extraordinary gear knowledge (and taste). You'd think James Corden had released a signature guitar from some of the comments online...
It's a strange phenomena, is it not? It's like there's people with internet sniffers tuned to Joe's name. Often the same people. I love his playing, his sound, and his live shows are excellent. Yes, he has an addiction. One many of us share. We love to buy guitars. Joe works his ass off touring the globe, he can spend his hard-earned money on whatever he wants. If I was him I'd do the same thing. I'd rather it be him than Jim Irsay!
I enjoy listening to Joe talk and enthuse about gear and guitars but I'm not a big fan of his music. He's picked up on a commercialised blues genre that I find a bit cosy and formulaic. There are still plenty of good guitars out there for people to buy and play, so it's not as if he's preventing anyone else from getting their hands on a guitar.
He's the lounge band of blues players. His music is so unoffensive that it's uninteresting. He's obviously a great player, but there's countless great players that are similarly weak song writers that the internet doesn't dick suck in the same fashion. I've never made a comment about Joe before, and don't dislike him, but the love of him is just weird to me.
The Guitaristas bought one, it came with lose knobs. Mine also came with 'wobbly' knobs. I was trying to tighten my knobs and when I pushed the knob back on I didn't have the splines lined up, pushed down and pushed the saft to the bottom of the pot with a "snap". It still works, but is lower than the rest of the knobs.
@@SionynJones The wood is fine, the shaft popped and the shaft hit the bottom of the pot. The pot itself is broken, not the wood around the cavity. The guitar is fine, need to replace the pot.
Nice job Trogley. I figured you would eventually review this guitar. For my two cents, a good alternative would be the Epiphone Les Paul Custom P-90 with Ebony Finger board. $50 cheaper, practical soft case, etc. But one advantage of the Bonamassa is if you buy from his site you get two meet and greet tickets if you buy tickets to his concert. I'm going to see him in November in Minneapolis. Decisions decisions.🤗🤔😄
It’s got a little bit of Texas Tea style to the finish. I like it. Gibson and Epiphone should consider adding this to the regular finish offerings, especially with the cream plastics. It’s definitely a refined but modern cool color that is more like a bronze than a brown.
What about the Epiphone Tak Matsumoto 1955 Les Paul Standard? It came out of the blue but man it looks pretty cool and unique. Ik it’s expensive but it’s something much more different and something we haven’t seen yet besides the Gibson custom shop.
I’ve have my one on that one. Surprised that so many content creators haven’t said a word about this guitar. Also surprised Epiphone has no video content on it either. I love the open book headstock, but I wish it wasn’t all gold. I’m watching it…
I gave this guitar some serious consideration as to either buying this, or a Sire Larry Calton L7 P-90s version. I had a spare case, and wound up going with the Sire. No regrets.
I love the video where the guys from CME go to see Joe's collection , Joe shows off three of the Copper Metallic Les Pauls which are so unique & beautiful , it is a very interesting finish , the Epiphone version is a handsome guitar , dig the matching knobs , the woodgrain on the neck, great sounding pickups...Thanks Trog !
Now I really want one, LOVE the color. And it sounds a lot better then I expected. I saw the video Gibson did with Joe( and the one he did on his channel ) talking about the guitar, but it makes it better to hear someone other then him playing it.
I never thought I’d have a guitar before you did…. Lol Got mine a little over a week ago. Really digging the color & that p-90 snarl. Plays great too. Enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.
I recently picked up the Epiphone Les Paul Custom P90 from Guitar Center. I like the feel and sound of it. The price was definitely on the money: $200 off list. I had thought about getting the LP Special but for $100 I got this. It's a keeper for me even if nobody's famous name is on it.
I have one of the original Pelham Blues with the USA Burstbuckers. It Truly is a quality guitar (as good as my Gibson LP Classic). I've been into P90's for quite a while, now. Gotta pick one up.
I like Epis just as much as Gibsons. Not sure if I'm seeing $850 there though, when a typical Standard is at 700 and a Custom at 800. Maybe including the hard case justifies the price a little bit? But then again, you can get more of a premium model like the Epi Wino Custom with a hard case at same price of 850. I suppose if you have thing for P90's, then this one is the way to go.
Hey Trogly absolutely beautiful. Love them all he makes me so jealous because he started collecting when he was just a kid. Pretty smart kid right. Great player with great guitars. Thanks Trogly you made my day. See ya on the next one.
Just ordered mine from JB website with meet and greets! Can’t wait (probably til February) to get it ! As far as the laurel fretboard , my Lazarus looks at least as good as the rosewood board on my 2003 Gibson Classic 60’s Les Paul . The p 90’s on my 2010 56 gold top are awesome so how could pros be worse 😁? So stoked ✌️Thanks Trogly
Epiphones always used to have a slightly different (flatter) cutaway horn than the Gibson counterpart- do these new ones with the newer headstock design have the correct Gibson cutaway shape? What about the headstock pitch?
Heh, I remember that. I had the goldtop. Limited Edition (of 1000) they said. They sold fast and said: "Oh, ok... we'll make another 1000". That sucked, tbh.
Not a fan of typical laurel grey brown, but this is a beautiful laurel color/grain fretboard, on this nice looking Copper Joe Les Paul. Not sure about the Epi P90 PRO cleans but the crunch sounds very useable. This needs the Epi pole piece minis or even the Epi FB720 Firebird minis. Deluxe in Copper Top would be cool.
A friend of mine just bought one and he likes it a lot. I can see why. The bridge pup is a little thin when clean, but sounds great dirty. All in all, I agree with the review. It's a good deal at $849. It follows right in the footsteps of the Yungblud SG Jr at $599 which also has a nice case and the Epi P90 Pro pup that sounds great dirty.
That color is great. I have a Sterling by Music Man Cutlass in a similar color. I would consider getting one of these except I just got a Reverend Charger 290 with P90's for less than this one and it's probably a better overall guitar. 🤷
What happened to the Gibson walnut double cut junior review? Did you not get 1? I’m sure I remember you saying you were going to get 1 to document @Trog
A request please. When you talk up a manufacturers product could you mention…, “Also made for left-handers.”? Thanks a ton. Yes, obviously I am a lefty. 👍🏼🤙🏼🤟🏼
That instrument is great value and for me was way better sounding than your last Gibson. That finish seems top quality and the color just right. Nice demo.
I just got the 84 explorer husk off reverb. Someone did a bad tv yellow refinish so I am going to sand it down and paint it white. It looks like it started life as a white guitar from the cavity. The frets are barely existent so I am going to have to do a refret and while I am at it I am going to radius the neck. I ordered the dirty fingers onyx to throw in it got some grovers to throw on it and a tone pros tom/tail. I cant wait to get it done. Its my first gibson explorer hahaha I have the epiphone thunderhorse. still badass haha
Oh man, I almost had convinced myself to finally get a Bonamassa Epi to sit among my others Gibsons. Scarf joints, cheap pickups….you’ve got yourself a regular Epi with a fancy case and paint job.
I'm a Gibson guy so I'm not running out to buy an Epi, but really this one looks good. Pickups can be changed and Scarf joints don't do anything but make the guitar less prone to have a headstock or heal break. Not sure what other limited run artist model you would be getting from any manufacturer at this price point. Those oversized routes do kind of kill it though so hopefully they aren't all like that.

It's Dr. Pepper color.
I was originally thinking "root beer" color, but I think you are right. It's more like a Dr. Pepper color. 😊
Dr. Pepper Iridescent
...just what the doctor ordered!
The release of this made me pull the trigger on a Maybach Lester 54 Black Velvet with Bigsby. So Bonamasa did sell me *a* guitar… just not this one.

@trog I only measure 1/16" different width between my Epiphone and Gibson P90. 1-5/16 vs 1-3/8. So Gibson P90s would slide right in there!!!

there's no upgrade from epi to gibby p90s, exactly the same
Sweet looking color. I already spent my lifetime funds this year and a new Blueberry Burst 60s Les Paul.
Sounds good love the color
Very cool finish the color change it reminiscent of high end paint jobs on modified cars!
I sooooo ….. would prefer the quick connect of the epiphone over the PCB of the Gibson

This finish looks much nicer on video than it does in picture, I can only assume it looks even better in person.
I’m a big fan of oxblood les pauls. This one looks like oxblood metallic! I really like it!
Good point!!
There was actually three released in 2014. A goldtop with a black back, a Pelham blue and the green one with the Bigsby.
I would throw those knobs on everything if I could. I love speed knobs and these are the prettiest ones I've seen

At 8:13 there appears to be an indented line in the top just above the light reflection. I thought it looked like a Root Beer color.
Nice review
Are the p90's the same ones as in the gibson les paul gold top p90
you forgot the 57 based gold top that was the first before the pelham blue
Love the color!
how does this have a long neck tenon, but a usa standard doesnt?
That is beautiful!!!
Did you toss the Chinese strings , while it was taken apart on the bench ?
That guitar looks sick!!!
1:10 not to be confused with Famous Amos cookies
I can't remember Joe Bonamassa played P-90 equipped guitars a lot. So why a Joe Bonamassa model with P-90s?
Epiphones always used to have a slightly different (flatter) cutaway horn than the Gibson counterpart- do these new ones with the newer headstock design have the correct Gibson cutaway shape? What about the headstock pitch?

ordered mine yesterday
Where did u get them?? Nobody has em
How difficult would it be to put Custombuckers in this guitar? I want one, but I'm dreaming about mods.
Thanks for any information!
p90 pickup cover is exactly same as gibson one..? is gibson one looks very slightly rounder..?
Slightly smaller to my measurements
If they do a ‘52 Goldtop with original tailpiece…
I have Bonammasa Epiphone goldtop from 2010 limited edition that wasn't limited after the success. I wonder how it compares.
Heh, I remember that. I had the goldtop. Limited Edition (of 1000) they said.
They sold fast and said: "Oh, ok... we'll make another 1000". That sucked, tbh.

I really like this one a lot. I think this is my favourite from the entire series so far. The original pelham blue one comes pretty close though.
Sounds great. 😊
Would love to see an oxblood 54 style
They remade the copper top in early 2003s in both Traditional and studio. I own the studio. Supposedly They made a 100 of each
I really like it! May need one....
Not a fan of typical laurel grey brown, but this is a beautiful laurel color/grain fretboard, on this nice looking Copper Joe Les Paul.

Got a gold top 1999 epi same specs. Plays amazing and only £300.

Did he take a pic holding each guitar??
Really?
I was trying to track the riffs. I thought I heard Reo Without Expression, Kiss Little Ceasar among others?
it reminds me of a oxblood ala jeff beck and now more than ever do i want a jeff beck model done like this
I like the color…kinda reminds me of the Jeff Beck oxblood finish…if Gibson put that on a LP Standard, well I just might….😮
I have the 58 and 63 from joe, wish i had an extra 800 lying around i need a P90 guitar in my life. Once i have the money i will get this one too
