I never thought in these 42 years I’d see my work on the stage. I’m going, ‘Damn it, Joe!’” 💔 That’s Maricela “MJ” Juarez, the legendary pickup builder from the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop, recalling the moment Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith gave her the ultimate onstage shoutout that brought her to tears of joy! 🙌 MJ’s built pickups for icons like Eddie Van Halen, Billy Gibbons, David Gilmour, and Peter Frampton — and during Sweetwater’s recent Guitar Fest, she revealed that seeing her work come alive on stage with Joe and Josh was her proudest moment ever. 🎶 From recreating the iconic Frampton Comes Alive! humbuckers to crafting tone magic for Joe Bonamassa’s Greenburst Strat, MJ’s fingerprints are all over rock history.
