The full story

Description

GIBSON BURSTBUCKER TYPE 2 (GOLD) On the shop floor of the original Gibson plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the earliest Gibson Patent Applied For‚¬ï¿½ humbuckers were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with varying degrees of output and tone. The BurstBucker€ž¢ line of pickups represents Gibsons drive to recapture the magic of the original Patent Applied For‚¬ï¿½ humbuckers. First introduced in the early 1990s, the Gibson BurstBucker€ž¢ Types 1, 2, and 3 successfully captured the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone with historically unmatched‚¬ï¿½ 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. BurstBucker€ž¢ Type 1 features a lower output, excellent for the neck position. BurstBucker€ž¢ Type 2 features medium output, and is perfect for both positions. BurstBucker€ž¢ Type 3 is overwound and hot, which is typically ideal for the bridge position. None of the BurstBuckers€ž¢ are wax potted, and all feature vintage braided two-conductor wiring. Output: 6.5 Position: Both Magnet: Alnico II Wiring: 2-Conductor Details: Historically accurate Patent Applied For replica with airy tone and unbalanced coils. Slightly underwound.
