Gibson Burstbucker Type 1 Alnico II Neck Humbucker Pickup Nickel - PUBB1DBNC2

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

The Gibson Burstbucker Type 1 Alnico II Neck Humbucker Pickup (PUBB1DBNC2) pays homage to the original Patent Applied For humbuckers from the 1960s, crafted on imprecise machines in the Gibson plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Part of the Burstbucker line introduced in the early 1990s, the Type 1 captures the nuances of true, classic humbucker tone with historically unbalanced coil windings and Alnico 2 magnets. Delivering an airy, full tone with magical distortion when overdriven, it retains the slightly enhanced highs that made the originals famous.

Ideal for the neck position, the Burstbucker Type 1 boasts a lower output, providing a warm and articulate response. Like its counterparts, it features vintage braided two-conductor wiring and is left unpotted, preserving its authentic character.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we like the Burstbucker Type 1 for its recreation of vintage humbucker magic, offering a lower output perfect for the neck position.
