IzeOfTheWorld Les Paul Picture Thread: Joe Bonamassa' Goldtop

[Doctor Butcher]

IzeOfTheWorld Les Paul Picture Thread

Hey now!
It's Dr.B Here! Some of you know that I come from the city of electric blues: Chicago. Some great acts come through here, some big name performers and some not-so-well-known underdogs. I have a good friend who hits a lot of the smaller venues where some of the most obscure acts perform. He is a well known photographer in these parts and has created some of the most stunning images that I personally have seen to date. His Name is Charles Izenstark and he definately has the eye to capture the moment. I have had the privledge to view his endless portfolio of excellent pictures. He has managed to put together a portfolio of the most beautiful Gibson Les Paul pictures that I have witnessed. He has given me permission to start this thread where I will be posting his Les Paul (and other various cool Gibsons) Pictures. His musical taste is exceptional So you will be seeing pictures of Dicky Betts all the way to The Stringcheese Incident. Besides, he is personally responsible for introducing me to Super Sessions....And That's Cool! With That, submitted For your viewing pleasure I am going to start this thread with some Gov't Mule w/Joe Bonamassa pictures. Dig It!:

Nice to see Smokin' Joe putting on some weight again. He was looking "cokey" to quote the old Standard.

Nice Picture Rev Willie! Is that Joe's Custom Shop model? It Almost looks like a Boneyard!
Here Is Another Close up of Warren's Custom Les Paul!

Wow! What a killer finish!

TW59:Honestly, I don't know if it is a 1959 Burst. I am hoping that somebody could Identify exactly what year it is. eace2

I'd say it looks a lot closer to some kind of reissue, but I doubt that guitar is a Burst.

That one is definitely Warren's Sig Les Paul. You can clearly see the pre-amp switch (CAE Sound unity-gain buffer) between the bridge volume and tone.

Here's Derek with a '59 Burst:

Stunning burst. I can only imagine what it can sound like in Derek's hands.
