Frequently Asked Questions
The Burstbuckers aim to emulate the character of early PAF humbuckers, offering a similar warmth and clarity, but with a slightly more refined output.
It’s a carefully crafted interpretation of the '50s profile – rounder than later shapes, with a comfortable feel that suits a wide range of hand sizes.
Gibson generally applies a relatively thin nitrocellulose lacquer to AAA tops, allowing the wood's resonance to shine through – expect a good level of transparency.
