It was in September 2021 when I first heard about Epiphone and Joe Bonamassa working together to release a version of Joe’s Gibson 59 Les Paul Std he named “Lazarus”.

The local music stores here in Perth weren’t ever sure how many are reaching Perth. Anyway was lucky enough that my favourite music store in Perth (Concept Music) managed to get one in for me in December 2021 😀 Loved that big chunky neck!!!

This is my first Les Paul since 1998. Didn’t realise how much I miss playing one actually.
