Joe Bonamassa knows gear — vintage or otherwise — arguably better than any guitarist. Lucky for us, when he finds a treasure that truly excites him, he loves to share it with the world. The Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Joe Bonamassa Greenburst Stratocaster Set represents another gem.

The talented team at the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop went through painstaking detail to faithfully re-create this prewired pickup set, and now it's yours for the taking. Vintage guitar aficionados here at Sweetwater immediately picked up on the higher output and authenticity compared to their own vintage Stratocasters. But make your move soon — the Joe Bonamassa “Greenburst” Stratocaster Set is limited to 500 sets and arrives with limited-edition packaging, aged white bobbins, and a certificate of authenticity signed by Joe and Seymour W.

The Seymour Duncan Custom Shop pulled out all the stops to re-create this set. Period-correct wire and windings were used to wrap around these bobbins that house staggered Alnico V magnets — these pickups even have gray bottoms adorned with a pad printing of Joe Bonamassa’s signature. The end result is a pickguard set that’s hot and punchy while retaining that sweet vintage flavor.
