Gibson Burstbucker Type 2 Humbucker Pickup - Nickel Cover

The golden era of Gibson tone returns with the Gibson Pickup Shop Original Collection. Paying tribute to Gibson's iconic past, the Original Collection houses the coveted '57 Classics, P-90s, Burstbuckers, and more that have shaped sound across all generations and genres of music.

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 Burstbucker - Types 1, 2, and 3 - successfully captured the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone with historically unbalanced coil windings and Alnico 2 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™ Type 1 features a lower output, excellent for the neck position. Burstbucker Type 2 features medium output and is perfect for any position. Burstbucker Type 3 is overwound and hot, which is typically ideal for the bridge position. None of the Burstbuckers are wax potted, and all feature vintage braided two-conductor wiring.
