Guitar Center is home to Joe’s new signature Gibson Custom Shop ES-335. Pictured above is a sneak peak of Guitar Center’s upcoming Easter Flyer. Pictured in the flyer is Bonamassa with his new ES-335. Gibson Custom Shop has been working with Joe to complete the guitar. In mid February, Gibson Custom Shop posted the following on Facebook “Joe Bonamassa’s 1961 ES-335. In the shop for us to take a look and a few photos.” And just about a month later, we now have a Bonamassa Custom Shop ES-335. I’m sure some modifications and adjustments were done by Joe and Gibson. So if you are a Guitar Center subscriber, keep an eye out. The flyer is on it’s way around, more details will be posted as we find them out.

Just found some more clips from the Beacon DVD on YouTube. DVD looks like it will be great. I’m still wondering why Sloe Gin and Ballard of John Henry are not on the DVD. Maybe they will surprise us and include them in the special features on the Bonus DVD.
Hope you enjoy the clips of Mountain Time and Fire and Water with Paul Rodgers. Less than a month to go. Only a limited amount of time left to get your preorder in with one of our limited packages. Make sure you place your preorder today.

At the Seymour Duncan booth at NAMM this past weekend, Joe got to play two blues tunes with the one and only Seymour Duncan. Not did he only jam with him, but we also learned that Seymour Duncan is releasing signature pickups. The Joe Bonamassa Signature Pickups from Seymour Duncan will be a Guitar Center near you in the soon to come future. Above we have Joe Bonamassa on the left and Seymour on the right. You can also see Len Bonamassa in the background. Joe jammed out on his Gibson, while Seymour played his Fender Telecaster.
The Joe Bonamassa Signature dual-humbucker set accurately replicates the P.A.F. pickups in Joe’s beloved 1959 sunburst Les Paul®. Their rich, dynamic, and nuanced voice will appeal to all tone connoisseurs who cherish the passion and power of the original humbucker. Wound on the historic Leesona machine that created humbuckers for Gibson back in the ‘50s and ‘60s, the set features an Alnico 2 magnet in the neck pickup and Alnico 3 in the bridge. Period-correct butyrate bobbins, lightly antiqued nickel covers, wooden spacer, and retro-style “Bonamassa” P.A.F. stickers heighten the vintage vibe. Only 1,959 Custom Shop sets will be sold. Each will be hand signed by Seymour Duncan and Joe Bonamassa and include a special USB flash drive with video interviews, special features, and more.

Joe was at NAMM this past weekend. While at the Gibson booth, he unveiled the new signature Paul Kossoff Les Paul. About two years ago, Joe got to play Paul’s original 59’ Les Paul. From that moment on, Joe has been part of the design process. In the video, Joe compares the signature LP to the real deal, they are dead on! What an honor for Joe to be part of such an amazing experience.
