Gibson Burstbucker Type 1 Humbucker Pickup Nickel Guitar Center

Description

On the shop floor of the original Gibson plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the earliest Gibson Patent Applied For humbuckers were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with varying degrees of output and tone. The Burstbucker line of pickups represents Gibson’s drive to recapture the magic of the original Patent Applied For humbucker pickups. First introduced in the early 1990s, the Gibson BurstbuckerTypes 1, 2 and 3successfully captured the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone with historically unbalanced coil windings and Alnico II magnets. 
The Gibson Burstbucker Type 1 humbucker pickups recapture the magic of the original PAF humbuckers. First introduced in the early 1990s, the Gibson Burstbucker delivers the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone with historically “unmatched” bobbin windings and Alnico II magnets. They produce an airy, full tone, and when overdriven they achieve a magical distortion with the slightly enhanced highs that made the originals famous.
