PG's Joe Coffey is On Location in Des Moines, IA, where he catches up with blues guitarist powerhouse, Joe Bonamassa. In this video segment, we get to hear from Joe about his current slew of guitars for his current tour.

Joe walks us through several Gibsons, including his JB model # 001 (which he calms is his favorite), a "Gary Moore" Les Paul, another JB Goldtop model (with traditional white hardware), a cardinal red Firebird and an old Flying V. In addition, he shows off some Ernie Ball models like his Petrucci baritone and Steve Morse loaded with DiMarzios. To top it off, he breaks out a double-neck ... just for good measure!

Jambo on 01/17/2010	Joe Coffey, please insist that your cameraman use a damn light. The interviews are great but the image is awful. There are many great, small LED vid camera lights out there.
Randy on 12/19/2009	He is getting close to a great tone and colour...I am forever trying to get his tones...
Robert F. Laarma on 12/19/2009	Saw JB in the Amsterdam Carré theatre and had an amazing night. Joe's great !!!
aceflyboy on 12/13/2009	Joe B's quest for his 'tone' doesn't seem to include any P-90 equipped Gibsons... intersting... regardless,he's a damn good blues player. I agree w/ noah& johnny that it was more a fluff piece than substance. I lived in Chicago for 20 yrs and many natives say Ill-a-noise :)
Zach on 12/12/2009	Deh Moines. It Deh Moine. It's almost as bad as people who pronounce Illinois as Ell-i-noy or Ell-i-noise. Ill-i-noy.
zzdoc on 12/11/2009	Beyond a detailed schematic of the pickups, circuitry,neck and body woods, and age,of each of those instruments is the gear that gives voice to the guitars. He's still in pursuit of his quest for his 'tone from heaven'. Witness the double neck he's introduced into this six string arsenal. Got to find your own voice.
johnny Lear on 12/11/2009	Yeah .they're all cool or one of his favorites.Could use more info or a demo!
noah on 12/11/2009	joe c. should have probed a bit more. like what are the special tones the firebird gives him? the V? what does the Morse guitar give him? j.b. just kept saying the guitars were "cool." give us more!
