Epiphone John Lee Hooker 100th Ann Zephyr Outfit Hollowbody Electric Guitar

Made with the cooperation of John Lee Hooker's family, the new Epiphone Ltd. Ed. John Lee Hooker 100th Anniversary Zephyr Outfit is a faithful replica of Hooker's rare 1961 Epiphone Zephyr that was his main instrument on tour and in the studio for over a decade. Hooker's original Zephyr was one of only 13 made in 1961 and only 45 Zephyrs were produced between 1959 and 1963. Now, 55 years later, what better way to reintroduce the Zephyr than to honor John Lee Hooker!

Boogie Chillen!: The Ltd. Ed. John Lee Hooker 100th Anniversary Zephyr Outfit features the original all-hollowbody design with a Maple top and body in an Antique Natural finish with single-ply Ivory binding and traditional unbound f-holes. The smooth Mahogany neck has a Hard Maple Center Stripe and is shaped with a Vintage "C" profile with a 24.75" scale length, a Pau Ferro fingerboard, 20 medium jumbo frets, a Delrin nut, and a Pearloid "Split Block" design like the original Zephyrs. The imitation Tortoise shell pickguard has a foil "E" just like vintage Zephyrs.

New Epiphone ProBucker™ Mini-Humbuckers: The Ltd. Ed. Zephyr is powered by newly designed Epiphone ProBucker™ Mini-Humbuckers, part of Epiphone's critically acclaimed ProBucker pickup series that strives to recreate Epiphone's classic pickups. Controls for each pickup's volume and tone are Gold "Top Hats" with Metal Inserts and Metal Pointers in addition to an Epiphone all-metal three-way pickup selector.

Rock Solid Hardware: The new Ltd. Ed. Zephyr Outfit comes with Epiphone's exceptional rock-solid hardware including a Pau Ferro floating bridge, Wilkinson® Deluxe machine heads with Ivory Buttons, a Vintage-style Trapeze tailpiece, and an Epiphone nickel rim-mounted output jack. The Zephyr Outfit also includes a Premium Vintage-style hard case, a leather strap, a Certificate of Authenticity, and a presentation binder
