The Epiphone Ltd. Ed. Joe Bonamassa ES-355 Standard Outfit has a 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple top and body with a beautiful Ebony finish adorned with multi-layer white & black binding on the top, back, and on the Sloped Dovewing headstock. The Mahogany neck has 24.75” scale with a SlimTaper™-D profile with 22 medium jumbo frets. The Ebony fingerboard has pearloid block inlays.

The tortoise shell-inspired pickguard has multi-layer binding and a metal “E” logo.
Gold ProBuckerTM Humbuckers: The Ltd. Ed. Joe Bonamassa ES-355 Standard Outfit is powered by critically acclaimed ProBuckerTM humbuckers with gold covers and Alnico II magnets, the same pickups Joe chose for his Ltd. Ed. “Amos” Korina Flying “V” Outfit. The neck position has a ProBucker 2™ and the bridge position has a ProBucker 3™ that is slightly overwound to emulate the tone of 1950s-era hand wound “PAF style” humbuckers. Controls for each pickup’s Volume and Tone come with Black "Top Hat" knobs with metal pointers and include world-class Mallory 150 Capacitors along with a Switchcraft® 3-Way Pickup Selector with an Amber Toggle Cap.
Epiphone Hardware: Like all Epiphones, Joe Bonamassa’s Signature Ltd. Ed. ES-355 features rock solid hardware including a gold ABR-1 LockTone™ Tune-o-matic bridge and a Bigsby™ B70 Vibrato tailpiece with a Vibramate® String Spoiler for quick string changes. Tuning is fast and accurate with Grover® Rotomatic machine heads with an 18:1 tuning ratio. A stylish vintage-inspired hard case is included with Bonamassa’s logo and Nerdville, CA in classic Army-style typeface along with a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity.
