Lazarus

A new signature by Epiphone, the Lazarus Bonamassa Les Paul. I lost count as to how many Epi signatures Bonamassa did under this brand name. If I recall correctly, it went back to the days of the former headstock design.

It was named as such after the Gibson version. Bonamassa bought a '59 which used to be red. He had it stripped & bingo - there's a gorgeous flame underneath & it was properly restored hence the name Lazarus; back from the dead. As you can see above, the Epi version has a flame grade which is nothing like the real thing. You might say that it's unachievable for an Epiphone at this price point but if it's gonna bear the name, some kind of close replica would justify the purchase. The Lazarus is actually an Epiphone '59 with a single pice neck. The neck construction is the only feature that separates it from the product Epi '59. Between these two guitars, there's only a USD50 difference. Anyway, we don't have an Epiphone dealer here (yet / any more), so...
