• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

There’s more vintage gear on Joe B Instagram than in some Western nations

If anyone hasn’t it checked it out, here’s the link https://www.instagram.com/joebonamassa/?hl=en

Man this guy has some incredible gear, a virtual treasure trove of the choicest of choice vintage amps, vintage guitars. Some great licks and his tongue and cheek comments are amusing too.

I think Joe B and John Mayer should go on tour together, part music, part comedy, like a revised version of the rat pack. Joe could be the almagamation of Frank and Bishop, JM could be Dino and Lawford . They just need to find a Sammy, I might recommend Kevin Hart for overall proportions but i don’t know if he plays an instrument.

Anyway, it’s a great instagram feed, but be careful, if you are one of the GAS afflicted, this guy can make even an Epiphone look good.

Gary Clark Jr. would be a great get for Sammy . This actually could be a fun tour with 3 serious guitar slingers and after each one does there "set" they could all have an all star Jam at the end of the show with maybe some surprise guests . This would be the ultimate guitar nerds show to hear and see the 6 string goodies they would bring along ( mostly Joe , as he has the serious collection ! ) John Mayer can supply the ladies to round out the evening . Oh and maybe John Mayer can get his friend to open the shows with some comedy - Dave Chappell ! Now you got some entertainment !

Joe's Instagram page is fun. What other Instagram page can you recommend? It turns out that he is very talented. He did the right thing by starting an Instagram page. This way, more people will know about it, and many fans will appear. In general, Instagram opens up great opportunities. For example, I sold tools and was advised to open a page on Instagram to attract more customers. In the beginning, it wasn't easy to get off the ground. I bought followers and likes on https://goread.io/buy-instagram-followers. This helped the business a lot, and my business became very successful.

If you actually looked through Joe Bonomassa’s intagram you’d see him play some of his modern signature Epiphones. Despite their budget status, he squeezed some really good tones out of them. Not sure what any of this has to do with a 64 Epiphone.

I was going to say that I think Gibson should do even more with Joe Bomnamassa to put a little luster on the Epiphone line, but you know what, forget I mentioned it.
way way way back the jazzers considered the large fancy epiphone archtops to be the best, gibson really had a run for their money trying to compete. of course the old as dirt jazzers that told me this are all gone i,m sure by now. along with the knowledge of how fine epiphones used to be

Of course, Joe Bonamassa will have a large collection of vintage guitars and amplifiers. He's a legend! And I'm sure the legend has a lot of money, and sometimes he needs to spend it. Vintage amplifiers and guitars costing him a lot of money is not a problem. Ordinary guitar players can purchase a classic Gibson Les Paul or a Fender Stratocaster. By the way, John Mayer has his own TikTok account. I recently found out about it! And by the way, I love TikTok and share my recorded video covers with people. I recently acquired followers at enforcesocial.com, and now my videos get a lot of views and likes.

I really like what he does with hunting down / collecting rare guitars and amplifiers and then sharing these with us through various media, pictures / videos / comments and we get to see him play them too…
It is pretty cool that he makes all this available for us to see and hear these rare works of art.
And then or course he actually writes / plays pretty well too haha… so even of these guitars and amps sucked he d put them in a good light lol

Yes he's a true enthusiast player collector, good on him. The history of guitar and amps is his passion (y)
