Taking inspiration from the late-’70s Les Paul Artisan but changing up the pickups, this latest Epiphone makes a very surprising signature model for a Sheffield metal guitarist.

Tuggle's storied career also includes stints with Jimmy Page, Rick Springfield, David Coverdale, John Kay and Steppenwolf.

The notorious hit was recently reissued for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

A limited-edition run as part of their Pistol Mint collection, the coin also comes with an NFT digital counterpart.

Diana Ross, Duran Duran and Nile Rodgers are just a few of the other musicians also set to perform at the celebration.

These deliciously dark new models are said to be both big on performance and low on price.

We sit down with the guitarist to talk his brand-new Charvel signature model, the “futuristic simplicity” at the heart of his design ethos, and why he doesn’t waste his time comparing his playing style to anyone else – even the greats.

The Jake E Lee signature model is based on his distinctive white superstrat he used from 1975 onwards.

The limited-edition amp also comes in a new vintage cream finish.
