Epiphone’s latest Joe Bonamassa signature model is based on the Lazarus 1959 Les Paul Standard, The backstory here is that the original guitar was found in poor condition; it had been refinished in red!

Specifications
This Lazarus model has a nice one-piece mahogany neck and a mahogany body. It sports a maple cap, topped with a wide-grain AAAA flame maple veneer. This mimics the look of the original ’59 Gibson model, but keeps costs down.
Epiphone has opted for a Gibson Burstbucker 3 in the bridge paired with a Gibson Burstbucker 2 in the neck position. The ’50s-style wiring uses CTS pots and Mallory capacitors. This should help you get some classic single-cut tones, and it’s a nice upgrade over standard Epiphone Les Paul models.
