Needless to say, I was pretty surprised to see that Joe Bonamassa bought that exact 1960 Les Paul "Burst" I got to play at Guitar Point a few months ago. I mean COME ON! I played Joe Bonamassa's 1960 Les Paul Burst! What are the odds??? Haha!
In this very special episode of Licks with Kris you get to see a few beautiful shots of the guitar, I tell all I know about its history and I show one of Joe's great shred licks.
Here are the videos where I'm playing the '60 burst:
