Topic: What brand of Sunglasses does Joe Bonamassa wear?

I'm really looking to find a pair of sunglasses similar to Joe's but I cannot figure out the brand. Any help on this one? They're the pair he wore at Albert Hall.  Here's a picture of the pair I'm talking about:

Thanks a lot!

Hi torino69, and welcome to Joe's Forum. * Handshake* smile
About the Joe's eye wear... this has been up on the board before. I'm sure someone can answer that question for you.
Have a great time here.

I like Ray Bans. I used to have a pair that served me well for many years. Oh well.

They're Maui Jims

Why don't we eliminate all the warning labels and let things sort themselves out?

What's a waistcoat Pete? Is that the same as jacket? I wouldn't discount him tossing one one day.  Joe can be unpredictable.
No one ever found a pick he tossed into the stage right crowd where we were in Syracuse, New York  one year ago...
I coached him (with a gesture) how to throw it and I think it may have ended up in orbit. 
Of course, with my FAITH running high, I believe I will personally be on the receiving end of a guitar toss...One Of These Days... roll

Rocket,if he tosses guitars the way you showed him how to toss picks, I'll make sure not to sit too close to you. I don't need the lumps.  tongue

Rocket, Ray Bans ain't no cheap sunglasses where I come from.

last I heard Joe say what his glasses were, he said Tag Heuer. I didn't see that exact style on their site but some other sites that had more models had some that looked like it whenh I was searching around. 

cool   cool   cool   cool   cool

I agree Jane.  For us, Ray-Bans aren't always quite cheap...But Joe once tweeted about losing several hundred dollar glasses...and tossing another pair at the close of his Royal Albert Hall show
He has never been cheap protecting his eyes and styling at the same time...

Those Maui Jims cost over $200 so we RayBan users look like pikers.  wink
