Epiphone | Joe Bonamassa Signature "Lazarus" LES PAUL

Bonamassa's Rare Burst Rises From The Ashes Once Again In A Spot-In Reissue

Joe Bonamassa teams up with Epiphone once more to release the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Signature "Lazarus" 1959 LP Standard, a spot-on replica of his 1959 Les Paul Standard. 

The stuff of legend, "Lazarus" was discovered on one of Bonamassa's "guitar safaris," poorly kept and refinished in red paint. After painstaking restoration, the guitar's original figured maple top shines like new.

Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Signature "Lazarus" 1959 Les Paul Standard

$ 15,954.00
When blues-rock guitar legend Joe Bonamassa found "Lazarus," a rare 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard, it was in poor condition and had been refinished red. Like the Biblical Lazarus, Joe's original guitar was brought back to life. 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.

It may not be the first thing you see when you walk into Chicago Music Exchange but, tucked in the back corner of our store—past the counter, the wall of Les Pauls, and the Gibson thinlines on the left—you’ll find a pair of French doors that open up to our Acoustic Room. Walk in and you’ll find yourself a humidity-/temperature-controlled room, which is essentially a walk-in humidor full of all the six-string (at times, 12-string) acoustic instruments we have, from the most sought-after brands our customers love and are always looking for—all of which can be perused at a glance with one swivel of the head.

American manufacturers began making “artist editions” at least as far back as 1843, when C.F. Martin built the first ever X-braced Martin models for one of the most renowned soloists of the era, Madame Delores N. de Goñi. And although it’s not as often that we see de Goñi model come through Chicago Music Exchange's doors, we sometimes see a fair number of the earliest artist editions and signature models ever commercially produced—including the Gibson Nick Lucas and Roy Smeck models.
