Gibson Burstbucker Pro | Neck | Nickel

In 2000, Gibson's new BurstBuckers captured the subtle variations in true humbucker tone with historically accurate ‘unmatched’ bobbin windings and an Alnico II magnet. Two years later, in keeping with Gibson's long history of experimentation and innovation in pickup design, Gibson developed an Alnico 5 BurstBucker specifically for new Les Paul Standards. (Alnico 5 magnets in place of the traditional Alnico 2s yields a fatter, meatier tone with more drive.) The outstanding performance of this new pickup (originally called the BurstBucker V) led to an overwhelming demand for an after-market version. With the BurstBucker Pro, you can now have that stunning humbucking tone, combining sweet harmonic complexity with crystalline clarity. And BurstBucker Pro pickups are wax potted so that they can withstand loud volume pressures without annoying feedback.

Available in calibrated pairs, neck position and bridge position, both available with either nickel or 24 carat gold-plated covers.
