There's a great review of the Joe Bonamassa signature series Gibson Goldtop Les Paul up on musicradar.com.  Joe is the latest artist to get a Gibson signature model, which is based a 1955 Goldtop that came through Joe's father's shop when he was just 11 years old.

In the span of a few years, Joe Bonamassa has transformed blues rock with his own unique fusion of both old and new ideas. His distinct interpretation of the blues, and his extraordinary guitar skills, have earned him a fitting a tribute from the Gibson Custom Shop—the new Joe Bonamassa Aged Les Paul Goldtop. 

It's a total thrill to have Joe here on Kompoz.   Are you working on your contest entry?
