Get your hands on a piece of rock 'n' roll history with the Gibson Custom Murphy Lab Joe Bonamassa Amos 1958 Flying V, a meticulously crafted tribute to one of the most iconic guitars in Bonamassa's collection. Nicknamed "Amos" after its original owner, the 1958 Flying V changed hands through some legendary names, including Pete Mitchell of Ernest Tubb's band and Norm Harris of Norman's Rare Guitars, and it even appeared in the 1984 cult classic This is Spinal Tap. If you've always wanted to know what it's like to riff on Bonamassa's iconic '58 Flying V, this Collector's Edition guitar is your ticket to sonic heaven.
At the heart of the Amos Flying V is a two-piece Korina body with angled grain joints, giving it a strong tonal foundation with warm, resonant mids and unrivaled sustain. The Korina neck's distinctive Amos profile offers a silky-smooth playing experience, enhanced by a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard that ensures effortless shredding across all 22 frets. Cementing its authenticity, this guitar was designed using cutting-edge 3D scanning technology, guaranteeing musicians will enjoy the same playing experience Bonamassa does in front of thousands of fans every night.
Equipped with a pair of Amos Custombucker pickups, this Flying V offers a sonic range as bold as its design. From searing rock leads to rich blues tones, the Custombuckers deliver a wide tonal palette with unmatched clarity and a delightful vintage character. The addition of 500k CTS vintage taper potentiometers and a phone book capacitor ensures that each note is clear and consistent, allowing you to sound your best at all times.
Visually, the Amos 1958 Flying V stuns with its Murphy Lab Aged Gold hardware and signature chevron-shaped string-through brass tailpiece. Every inch of the guitar, from the hardware to the body finish, has been painstakingly aged and hand-finished to recreate the wear and feel of Bonamassa's original instrument.
For guitarists chasing the pinnacle of craftsmanship and tone, the Gibson Custom Murphy Lab Joe Bonamassa Amos 1958 Flying V is a rare masterpiece that captures the spirit of rock 'n' roll. With only 50 of these instruments ever made, this guitar is a true gem that'll become the crowning jewel of any collection.
