Epiphone “PAF”-inspired ProBuckerTM Pickups

Joe Bonamassa is a big fan of Epiphone’s critically acclaimed ProBucker pickups, which accurately re-create the tone of first generation humbuckers found in late 50s Les Pauls, 335s, and Flying-Vs. ProBucker pickups feature the same components and materials as vintage humbuckers including sand cast Alnico II magnets, 18% Nickel Silver unit bases and covers, and high quality 4 conductor lead wire. Each ProBucker humbucker pickup is also vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonics. Controls include an Epiphone 3-way pickup selector with an Amber toggle cap and volume controls for the bridge and neck along with a master tone. All controls have CTS™ potentiometers and Black “Top Hat” Knobs.

Classic Flying V Hardware

The Ltd. Ed. 1958 “Amos” Korina Flying-V comes with period correct gold hardware including a 1958-style “V” metal plate tailpiece mounted with Escutcheon nails along with a LockTone™ ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge. A late 50s period correct hard case is included along with a Certificate of Authenticity hand-signed by Joe Bonamassa in a presentation binder.
