> There was only one John Lee Hooker, father of footstompin

boogie, the Boogie Man, the Crawling Kingsnake.

He introduced to the world a chugging country rhythm behind

amplified blues and a gruff emotional voice. And on top was a

starkly intense guitar, that greatly influenced a number of

young rock and rollers in the 60s and 70s including the Rolling

Stones, the Yardbirds and ZZ Top. John Lee was associated

with a variety Epiphone archtops, but most closely with the ‘64

Sheraton. This “outdid” ES-335 has been duplicated exactly, to

the original 1964 specifications... Boogie on!
