SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
When blues-rock guitar legend Joe Bonamassa found the original "Lazarus," a rare 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard, it was in poor condition. Like the Lazarus of Biblical texts, Joe's Les Paul guitar was brought back to life. Once it was restored, its stunningly figured top was revealed. Joe Bonamassa is once again collaborating with Epiphone, this time on a guitar inspired by his Gibson Lazarus 1959 Les Paul Standard. Featuring a mahogany body with a maple cap and topped with a wide-grain AAAA flame maple veneer, it's outfitted with Gibson BurstBucker pickups and ’50s style wiring with CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors. It comes in a vintage-style case with Bonamassa graphics with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
