Gibson '60s Burstbucker Alnico V Any Position Humbucker Pickup Nickel - PU60BBDBNC2

Historically accurate Patent Applied For replica with airy tone and unbalanced coils

The Gibson '60s Burstbucker Alnico V Humbucker Pickup (PU60BBDBNC2) pays homage to the original Gibson Patent Applied For humbuckers from the 1960s, echoing the magic of those early pickups crafted on imprecise machines in the Gibson plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Recapturing the essence of the classic humbucker tone, the '60s Burstbucker boasts historically unbalanced coil windings and Alnico 5 magnets, delivering an airy, full tone. When pushed into overdrive, it achieves a magical distortion with subtly enhanced highs, reminiscent of the originals that became legendary. With Alnico 5 magnets for a slightly brighter tone, this pickup remains unpotted and features vintage braided two-conductor wiring, offering a genuine sonic experience that harks back to the golden era of Gibson humbuckers.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we like the '60s Burstbucker for its authentic recreation of the classic humbucker tone, capturing the nuances and magic of the original Patent Applied For pickups from the 1960s.
