Joe Bonamassa

According to Fishman's website Bonamassa is using this pickup system.

"Many factors go into the sound of a real 1959 Sunburst Les Paul, but these pickups will get you the clarity and the growl of this guitar without the wallet-busting price tag of an original 1959. I was immediately impressed by the similarities – the balance between the front pickup and the lead pickup are nearly identical."

"'Truth be told, I think it's the best of the three replica pickup sets I've collaborated on with Duncan.'"

His signature model has Burstbucker 3 in bridge position.

His signature model has BBs #2 and #3 .

In the Ernie Ball: String Theory video featuring Joe Bonamassa, at 3:24, a scalloped fretboard can be seen on a Maple-neck Fender Stratocaster with a yellow/aged-white finish resting on a workbench. The presence of this guitar suggests Bonamassa's interest in or use of scalloped fretboards, although it's uncertain if this is a new model or a customized piece, possibly inspired by the Yngwie Malmsteen signature series.

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.
