Frequently Asked Questions
Burstbuckers are generally smoother and more refined; these have a rawer, more aggressive edge and higher output.
They should fit, but you may need to adjust the pickup height to account for the slightly different winding and overall height compared to Les Paul stock pickups.
They handle drop tunings reasonably well, but the high output might become slightly overpowering in very low tunings – consider a noise gate if needed.
