GIBSON Burstbucker Type 2

Gibson's Burstbucker™ pickups, first introduced in the early 1990s, were designed to recreate the magic of the original Patent Applied For humbucker™ pickups. The Burstbucker™ line — Types 1, 2, and 3 — features historically unbalanced coil windings and Alnico 2 magnets, and successfully captures the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone. 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 has a lower output and is excellent for the neck position. Burstbucker Type 2 has a 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.
