Joe Bonamassa Dust Bowl Tour Guitars
1972 Gibson ES-355
Joe Bonamassa bought this ES-355 off of eBay—“My one and only eBay purchase,” he says, “This guitar spent its life in Texas.”—in honor of Freddie King. “I so admire his work,” Bonamassa said, “The Shelter [Records] recordings are pivotal in music history…They are dry and the definition of honesty. Owning one just like Freddie’s reminds me why I do this in the first place. Plug it up and play. All else is just pomp and circumstance.” Bonamassa played the guitar on “Lonesome Road Blues” and “Happier Times.”
