A Very Unique SG Custom for a One of a Kind Artist

Renowned guitarist Joe Bonamassa is also a world-class guitar collector. One of his prized acquisitions is a 1963 Gibson SG™ Custom with some unusual features, including a unique smoothly contoured neck heel joint and a Dark Cherry Red finish - a rarity for that model and year. Epiphone’s Joe Bonamassa 1963 SG Custom faithfully recreates the magic of this unique guitar. It features the same smooth neck joint contour, a Maestro™ Vibrola™, classic SG Custom cosmetics, gold-plated hardware, and three powerful Epiphone ProBucker™ pickups. It comes with a Custom Hardshell case with a goldenrod plush interior and Epiphone and Joe Bonamassa exterior graphics, and a certificate of authenticity.
