Gibson IM57A-DB - Burstbucker #1 Humbucker Pickup - Black Finish

There are a number of Gibson humbucking pickups available, and each one has its own distinctive personality.

The BurstBucker Series delivers all the vintage vibe of the legendary "patent applied for" (PAF) humbuckers, best known from the 1959 Les Paul Standard. All three BurstBuckers have unpolished magnets and non-potted coils.

There was tremendous variation among those early hand-wound humbucking pickups. Employees would wind the bobbins "until they were full." This was typically about 5,000 turns.

The BurstBucker 1 is lower output and works well in the neck position! Expect an airy, full tone that is rich and sweet. Overdriven, expect a magical distortion with enhanced high end that made this pickup famous!
