Prestigious PAFs Autographed by Joe Himself While Joe Bonamassa is best known as a titan of modern blues guitar, it’s a not-so-secret secret that he moonlights as one of the vintage guitar world’s premier 6-string historians. Joe’s incredible 500+ guitar collection runs the gamut of golden-age guitar makers; however, in his estimation, an exceedingly rare blonde-colored 1960 Gibson ES-335 stands out among them as the finest PAF-equipped guitar in his collection. That’s precisely where Seymour Duncan’s “The Blonde Dot” 1960 ES-335 Joe Bonamassa signature humbucker set comes in. This dual humbucker pickup package masterfully replicates every sonic nuance and idiosyncrasy of Joe’s treasured ES-335, granting you a supremely balanced and expressive tone that epitomizes the tonal power and vintage vibe of the legendary PAF pickup.

The peak of PAF tone Like most vintage-era pickups, Gibson’s PAF pickups of the late 1950s and early 1960s are notoriously inconsistent. Magnets and other individual components that can dramatically impact tone vary widely. That’s why it speaks volumes that Joe Bonamassa singled out the pickups this set exactly replicates — found on his ultra-rare blonde-colored 1960 Gibson ES-335 — as his favorites. What sets them apart from the legions of PAF-inspired pickups on the market? Joe champions his ES-335’s PAFs as the most balanced of the bunch, and he’s owned scores of 6-strings equipped with true-blue vintage PAFs. This set’s neck humbucker delivers an almost single-coil style sparkle, perfectly balancing the slightly more rounded-over response of the bridge pickup. Regardless of your level of devotion to Joe’s bluesy brilliance, Seymour Duncan “The Blonde Dot” 1960 ES-335 Joe Bonamassa signature humbuckers represent a truly unique and extremely accurate re-creation of top-tier PAF power.
