Joe Bonamassa is among blues-rock's most visible guitar-playing ambassadors. That stewardship role has led to more than a few pieces of gear marked with his imprimatur over the years. The newest, the Epiphone Limited Edition Joe Bonamassa 1960 Les Paul Standard “Norm Burst," is impressive for the price. But it's an excellent guitar by any standard, that, in its beautiful, bright cherry burst finish, begs to be played, much like a seasoned vintage instrument does.
