Joe Bonamassa Guitar Rig and Equipment Setup
Joe Bonamassa, a modern day blues master who defines epic tone with his is amazing collection of vintage guitars and amplifiers. His guitar tech Mike Hickey has even been tasked with the job to always be shopping for more vintage guitars and equipment while they are out on the road. Joe has a massive collection of vintage guitar equipment stored at his Nerdville property, its an amazing site. Pretty awesome job! Joe Bonamassa now has his own signature line of Gibson guitars and well as a series of effects pedals. Here is what I have gathered for Joe’s most recent equipment being used out on tour now.

Joe is amazing no matter what guitar he plays .
I do not intend to diminish Joe, but I have a couple of issues with him. First, he is a hot-dogger. I really hate to see someone take a great tune and turn it into a 30 min. self-love fest. Granted, Joe has some chops–but I just don’t buy it. I see a lot of falseness in him as a guitarist. Seems like a nice enough guy who i could easily BS with, but….
Next, I really hate these guys who buy up guitars, whether for collection or otherwise–Joe is both. Sooo many guitars have been taken out of the reach of the ordinary player because of people like Joe. Are not one or two guitars enough for you to play and show off like you do?? You are a disgrace to the very blues players you profess to pay homage to. Let that sink in a minute or two.
Hell, I played a $25 1964 Silvertone acoustic for 6 years and played Zeppelin + many others to the amazement of people. I still played that guitar long after i got my first Les Paul in 1970 when they started making them again.
