Joe playing a MUSIC MAN...

That's his John Petrucci Baritone guitar - he uses it on TBOJH live

-Scott

Bari is Baritone neck its longer and tuned lower then a standard guitar, think standard tuning starting with
B, F, A#, D#, G, B  $notes lower then Standard E which is E, A, D, G, B, E.  You string it up with heavy strings almost like bass but not all the way.  No thats not a Bariton guitar but Joe strings that guitar up the way you would a Baritone.

Joe is also playing a Steve Morse Signature model, its the purple sunset burst.

Yeah, it's a baritone. I think he used another music man, I think for Mountain Time, at the Birchmere show. Is this a Baritone? It looked to be the same guitar used on TBOJH.

I can understand the Petrucci Baritone for BOJH due to the longer scale length, but why the Morse for Mountain Time Joe???  The iconic axe for that tune in my eyes is no doubt the Gigliotti.  After seeing you last year I remember going home and swearing it was the best sounding guitar you played the whole night.  Could've been the tune though, GREAT SONG.  So Joe when is the MM Joe Bonamassa model coming out???  That would be sweeeet.

While Musicman's are a little pricey they are nowhere near what Custom Shop Gibsons and Fenders are, especially with signature models.  I think if Joe were to convince Ernie Ball to make him a JB signature Baratone that would be awesome.  I'd get one just to play BOJH, what a great tune!
