Seymour Duncan Joe Bonamassa “Bolin Burst” Humbucker Set (Limited) — 11828-121-LTD

Joe Bonamassa “Bolin Burst” Humbucker Set (Limited) — created with Seymour Duncan after an in‑depth analysis of the P.A.F.s in Joe’s 1960 Les Paul associated with Tommy Bolin.

Each cover is aged in the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop for the right look and feel.

FAQ

Will these fit my guitar?
They drop into most Les Paul®, SG®, ES‑style, and other guitars with standard humbucker routes and mounting rings. Direct‑mount or non‑standard rings may require minor fitting.

Are the pickups wax potted?
Custom Shop aging and construction are designed for the right vintage character and performance. Potting approach follows the Bonamassa spec for this project.

Can I coil‑split them?
Some production runs may ship 4‑conductor for split/parallel options; others use vintage braided lead. Check the lead type on your set (or ask us).

What’s included?
Neck and bridge pickups (aged nickel), mounting screws/springs; early numbered sets include bottom plates signed by Joe Bonamassa and Seymour W. Duncan.

Wiring notes

• If your set has vintage braided 2‑conductor leads: use classic humbucker wiring (no coil‑split). Start with 500k pots and a .022µF tone cap.
• If your set has 4‑conductor leads: stock series wiring; add a push/pull or mini‑toggle for coil‑split or series/parallel.
