The only signs of aging / use are Custom shop finish. Never gigged.

Based on a heavily modded 1955 Goldtop that came through the shop owned by Bonamassa senior when Joe was only 11 years old, the Gibson Custom Shop "Inspired By" Joe Bonamassa Aged Les Paul Goldtop is the culmination of a close collaboration between the man himself and the custom shop.
This is an example from the first run in 2008 (#088) the COA is signed by Joe and comes with all the additional tags and bits in their original packaging.
The guitar is in great condition and has had very little if any real use and would make a great addition to any collection. 
This exceptional instrument begins with the most traditional of all Les Paul features – a body consisting of a carved maple top matched with a weight-relieved, two-piece light mahogany back.
Single-ply crème binding adorns the top, which accents the perfectly applied Antique Goldtop finish reminiscent of the most storied Les Pauls of the early 1950s. The standard 24¾-inch scale one-piece mahogany neck is shaped with a traditional 1959 rounded neck profile, a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard and figured acrylic trapezoid inlays.
All of the hardware is nickel, and softly aged to give it the look of a classic, vintage Les Paul, including an ABR-1 bridge without the retainer wire and an aluminum stopbar tailpiece. The headstock is also reminiscent of the vintage Gibson Les Paul headstocks of the early 1950s, which are slight narrower than today’s version.
The pickups and power in this outstanding signature Les Paul comes from a pair of Gibson’s legendary Burstbucker pickups – a Burstbucker 2 in the neck and a Burstbucker 3 in the bridge. Together, these two pickups successfully capture the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone with historically “unmatched” bobbin windings and Alnico II magnets.
Other standard appointments include Grover kidney tuners, a “Bonamassa” truss rod cover, vintage CTS pots and bumble bee capacitors, Amber Top Hat knobs for the neck volume and tone controls and Gold Top Hat knobs for the bridge volume and tone controls, Dunlop strap locks, and black pickup rings, switchwasher and pickguard, just as they appeared on some of the vintage Goldtops from 1957.
