The Zephyr Is Back Get to know our team of experts! This article was Written By Our Product Research Team Get to know them! The Epiphone Limited Edition John Lee Hooker 100th Anniversary Zephyr is a period-correct re-creation of John Lee's '61 model that he used in the late 1960s and early '70s. Original Zephyr production ran from the late 1950s to the early '60s, and it hasn't graced Epi's lineup since. Now, over a half-century later, the Zephyr is back. Built to original specifications, the guitar features an all-maple thinline hollow body, a mahogany neck with a hard maple center stripe, a pau ferro fingerboard, and two Epiphone ProBucker Mini-humbuckers. Honoring his 100th birthday, this Epiphone John Lee Hooker 100th Anniversary Zephyr is a limited edition with just 1,000 guitars available worldwide. Epiphone ProBucker Mini-humbuckers deliver perfect tone for any genre Epiphone's Limited Edition John Lee Hooker 100th Anniversary Zephyr is packing Epiphone ProBucker Mini-humbuckers. These pickups conjure the sound of the original hand-wound PAF humbuckers designed by Seth Lover at Gibson's Kalamazoo factory in the late 1950s. ProBuckers have all the same components under the hood as the original PAF and Burstbuckers, including Alnico II magnets, Elektrisola magnet wire, 18% nickel silver unit bases and covers, as well as pole screws, slugs, and bobbins built to original Gibson specs. This is the first Mini-humbucker in the ProBucker series, and it delivers classic tone that is highly responsive to your pick attack and the guitar's volume controls.
