Frequently Asked Questions

Burstbuckers are designed to emulate the tonal characteristics of early PAF humbuckers, offering a slightly more refined and controlled output while retaining that vintage warmth.
Gibson has strived for accuracy with the '50s profile, aiming for a comfortable, slightly fuller feel than later slimmer profiles – it’s a very playable neck.
The Ocean Blue finish is a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, which, like all nitro finishes, will develop a subtle patina over time with playing, but it's relatively durable and can be polished to maintain its shine.
