The Gibson Burstbucker Type 1 Humbucker Pickup is a classic, vintage-inspired humbucker designed to capture the essence of Gibson's legendary PAF (Patent Applied For) pickups. Featuring a nickel-plated cover and a lower output, this pickup offers warm, nuanced tones with a slight bit of natural grit. The Burstbucker Type 1 excels in providing articulate, clear highs and smooth, creamy lows, making it ideal for both rhythm and lead playing. Its vintage construction, including unbalanced coils and Alnico II magnets, delivers that sought-after organic tone that defined the golden era of rock and blues.
Perfect for musicians looking to capture the true essence of vintage Gibson sound. What type of BurstBucker do you need?: Burstbucker Type 1 features a lower output, great for the neck position. Burstbucker Type 2 features medium output which can be used for either position and Burstbucker Type 3 is overwound and hot, which is typically ideal for the bridge position.
