In 2001, he sold the guitar to help fund his move to L.A, but as the 20th anniversary of Bonamassa’s first record approached, a strange twist of fate and an unexpected phone call resulted in him being reunited with his old friend—that same red ES-335 that propelled him through his first solo effort and launched him into a new life on the West Coast.The Joe Bonamassa 1962 ES-335 features a 5-ply layered maple body and a one-piece mahogany neck with an Indian laurel fingerboard and comfortable rounded C-shaped profile.

Additional appointments include small block inlays, Epiphone Deluxe tuners and nickel hardware.The Joe Bonamassa ES-335 semi-hollow electric guitar ships with a custom hardshell case featuring Epiphone and Joe Bonamassa graphics, and a certificate of authenticity.
