Burstbucker Pro - Pure Sweet Tone!

The BurstBucker ProTM enhances the vintage "edge" of Gibson's popular BurstBuckerTM pickups with the added feature of an Alnico 5 magnet.

In 2000, Gibson's new BurstBuckersTM 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 BurstBuckerTM specifically for new Les Paul Standards. 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 ProTM, all "Pure Tone Lovers" can now have stunning humbucking tone.

BurstBucker ProTM humbuckers are offered in a calibrated pair; the neck position (IM59A), and the bridge position (IM59B). Output of these pickups is similar to the standard BurstBuckerT #1 and #2 model. And BurstBucker ProTM pickups are wax potted so that they can withstand loud volume pressures without annoying feedback.
