Product Description
BurstBucker 2BurstBucker 2 is wound in the range of Gibson's '57 Classic, with slightly hotter vintage output than the BurstBucker #1, and works well in the bridge position with a BurstBucker #1 in the neck position.The variations in pickup output and tone came from inconsistencies in winding the bobbins, a result of the lack of automatic shutoffs on Gibson's winding machines in the late 1950s. Seth Lover, who invented the humbucker, always said they wound the bobbins "until they were full," and original examples suggest that employees stopped the winding machines after the counter reached approximately 5000 turns. When the two coils in a pickup have a different number of turns, that variation puts a little edge or "bite" on the classic humbucker sound. That's the sound BurstBuckers replicate. (The creamy sound that Gibson's '57 Classics replicate comes from equal coil windings.) Gibson then carries the replication process two steps farther, with unpolished Alnico II magnets and no wax-potting of the coils, just like the originals.

Great pickup purchased by a great reseller April 5, 2010
Taylor L. Smith (TEXAS, USA)
Item was shipped very quickly and arrived promptly when it was supposed to. Item was perfectly packaged and in prestine condition. I had my guitar tech install this pickup into my '79 Les Paul Custom Silverburst. Now I know what that guitar is supposed to sound like. I will be trading my other Seymore Duncan Pearly Gates in the neck position for another Burstbucker for sure. Would recommend this pickup and this reseller to anyone. Thanks! Now I'M #1 TONITE!

I HAVE BEEN PLAY-IN FOR ABOUT 30 YEARS AND HAVE 42 GUITARS. I HAVE PLAYED EVERYTHING ANYONE CAN EVER THINK OF. I HAVE A GIBSON GUITAR OF THE WEEK # 25 WITH THIS PICKUP IN IT AND LET ME TELL-YA, THE SOUND IS AS CLOSE TO A ORIGINAL 1959 PAF THAT I'VE EVER HEARD. IT BLOWS AWAY EMGS THUR A MARSHALL TUBE AMP AND I LOVE THIS NEW PICKUP.THE ONLY GIBSON GUITAR THESE COME-IN NOW IS THE 5200.00 DOLLAR VOS CUSTOM'S AND THE 4200.00 1957 BLACK BEAUTY.
