Epiphone and Joe Bonamassa are proud, no, really nerding out to present the Joe Bonamassa “Lazarus” 1959 Les Paul Standard. A guitar inspired in part by a conversation over a plate of meatballs at a favorite Hollywood guitar nerd hangout.

As the story goes, a red, dinged-up Les Paul was literally brought to Joe’s table at Barone’s in Hollywood, which in turn launched an impromptu investigation into the true identity and origin of the guitar in question. Kim LaFleur, of Historic Makeovers, confirmed Joe’s nagging suspicions that the guitar was indeed a 1959 Les Paul Standard. Joe was ecstatic and so moved by this stroke of good fortune that he named the guitar Lazarus. Much like Lazarus of the Bible, this ’59 Les Paul literally came back from the dead. Not wanting that to be the end of the story, Joe teamed up with Epiphone to honor this great guitar with an artist model aptly named the Epiphone Joe Bonamassa “Lazarus” 1959 Les Paul Standard. Try saying that with a mouth full of meatballs. The Lazarus features a mahogany body with a maple cap that is topped with a wide-grain AAAA flame maple veneer. The sweet tone comes from some of Joe’s favorite pickups; Gibson BurstBuckers paired with 50s style wiring and CTS® potentiometers and Mallory™ capacitors. Lazarus comes with a vintage-style case sporting Bonamassa graphics and a certificate of authenticity.
