In October 2020, blues guitar titan Joe Bonamassa teamed up with Epiphone to create a new signature guitar, a recreation of his 1958 Gibson Les Paul Custom “Black Beauty." In October 2021, meanwhile, the guitarist many consider to be the finest blues player in the world today unveiled another new signature Epiphone Les Paul, a replica of his 1959 “Lazarus” LP model.

In what now seems to be an October tradition, Bonamassa announced today that he'd collaborated with Epiphone to create yet another new signature model, based this time on his lost-and-found 1962 Gibson ES-335.
