Capture the Bold, Balanced Tone of Bonamassa’s Broadcaster
The Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Joe Bonamassa 1950 Broadcaster pickup set replicates the tone and vibe of Joe’s treasured ’50 Fender Broadcaster to a T. What makes them so special? Few guitarists on the planet can match Joe’s encyclopedic knowledge and familiarity with vintage Fender instruments, so it’s telling that Joe singles his 1950 Broadcaster out from his massive Nerdville collection as a seriously special-sounding example. Seymour Duncan tells Sweetwater that Joe is particularly fond of the guitar’s neck pickup for its clear and beautifully balanced voice, which is immaculately re-created in this set via Alnico II magnets. And just as you’d expect from a blackguard of any variety, the Bonamassa Broadcaster’s Alnico IV flat-pole bridge pickup serves up a wonderfully punchy and biting twang.
