Gibson Burstbucker Type 2 Humbucker Pickup, Nickel
- DESCRIPTION
Back in the day on the original Gibson factory floor in Kalamazoo, those early Patent Applied For humbuckers were handcrafted on quirky machines that led to pickups with their own unique quirks in tone and power. Enter the Burstbucker series - Gibson’s playful nod to that vintage charm. Debuting in the '90s, these pickups - Types 1, 2, and 3 - perfectly mimic the classic humbucker vibe with precise coil windings and Alnico 2 magnets. Expect a bright, rich sound that sings when clean and turns into a deliciously crunchy distortion with those signature sparkling highs you know and love.
The Gibson Burstbucker Type 2 humbucker brings medium output that fits just right anywhere on your guitar. Like its siblings, it skips the wax potting to keep the tone fresh and lively, and it’s wired with vintage braided two-conductor wire for that classic feel. Ready to add some swagger and sparkle to your sound? This pickup’s got you covered.
