Gibson Burstbucker Type 3 Alnico II Bridge Humbucker Pickup Nickel - PUBB3DBNC2

Historically accurate Patent Applied For replica with airy tone and unbalanced coils. Slighty overwound, hotter output.

The Gibson Burstbucker Type 3 Alnico II Bridge Humbucker Pickup (PUBB3DBNC2) 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 3 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 bridge position, the Burstbucker Type 3 boasts a higher 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 3 for its recreation of vintage humbucker magic, offering a higher output perfect for the bridge position.
