Description
Once it was restored, its stunningly figured top was revealed. Now Joe Bonamassa is once again collaborating with Epiphone, this time on a guitar inspired by his Gibson™ “Lazarus” 1959 Les Paul Standard. Featuring a one-piece mahogany neck, a mahogany body with a maple cap, topped with a wide-grain AAAA flame maple veneer, it’s outfitted with Gibson BurstBucker™ pickups and 50s style wiring with CTS® potentiometers and Mallory™ capacitors. It comes in a vintage-style case with Bonamassa graphics. A Certificate of Authenticity is also included.
