Joe Bonamassa 1959 bursts and his 1960: Spot (left) Principle Skinner (middle) and Runt (right). Spot is a ’59 that’s been refretted and had a Bigsby that was removed in the ’80s. Skinner (purchased from the Skinner Auction House) is a ’59 that Joe had refretted by Joe Glaser. Other tweaks include additional thumbscrews under the bridge and the tuners swapped to replicas from Martin Six String Customs for stability. Runt is a ’60 that once had a Gibson Amps decal on the body, hence the dark marks, and has a slimmer neck than you would see on a ’59.
