Seymour Duncan and blues-rock hero Joe Bonamassa continue their decade-long collaboration with Strat pickups based on the set from Joe’s own fabled 1964 refin-ed Strat he calls the Greenburst. These are exacting reproductions of that guitar’s stock grey-bottom pickups, made for tone hunters, and carry a $375 MAP. They’ve got period-correct wiring and staggered alnico 5 magnets, and sound notable punchy with a higher output. The first 500 come in limited edition packaging signed by JB himself.
