Description
Step into the sonic legacy of rock history with the Seymour Duncan Joe Bonamassa "Bolin Burst" Humbucker Set. This meticulously crafted pickup set is a tribute to the iconic tones of Tommy Bolin's 1960 Les Paul, a guitar that captivated fans with its unique voice. Revered by blues guitar maestro Joe Bonamassa, these pickups are a faithful re-creation of the vintage P.A.F. humbuckers, utilizing low-output Alnico II magnets to deliver authentic vintage tones.
The "Bolin Burst" humbuckers are a collaboration between Joe Bonamassa and the renowned Seymour Duncan Custom Shop, capturing the essence of Tommy Bolin’s legendary sound. The neck pickup offers a warm and rich tone, perfect for those soulful blues licks, while the bridge pickup delivers a bold, biting sound that cuts through the mix effortlessly. Each set comes with bottom plates hand-signed by both Joe Bonamassa and Seymour W. Duncan, adding a personal touch to this extraordinary piece of musical history.
In addition to the unparalleled craftsmanship, every purchase contributes to preserving Tommy Bolin’s legacy, with a portion of the proceeds donated to the Tommy Bolin Endowment and Tommy Bolin Memorial Fund. This limited edition set not only enhances your guitar’s voice but also connects you to the rich heritage of rock and blues.

In this video, Joe Bonamassa discusses the Seymour Duncan "Bolin Burst" Humbucker pickups, based on pickups from a Les Paul owned by Tommy Bolin. Bonamassa says:
The interesting quality of these, not all PAFs are created equal. Turns out, which is almost diametrically opposed to what you would think, is the cleaner clearer sound in the front pickup, is actually slightly hotter....
And the bridge pickup is actually lower in output. And this has a nice bite to it, but it's not too bright, and it's nice and thick in the bottom end. And they feedback nice.
It really is a special set of pickups, and I didn't really realize how much they varied from other Les Pauls of mine until we actually looked at them here at Seymour Duncan. And that's not really indicative of late 60's Les Pauls, it just happens to be indicative of that particular late 60 Tommy Bolin Les Paul.
