    On the shop floor of the original Gibson plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the earliest Gibson Patent Applied For humbuckers were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with varying degrees of output and tone. The 60s Burstbucker represents Gibson’s drive to recapture the magic of the original Patent Applied For humbucker pickups. The Gibson 60s Burstbucker successfully captures the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone with historically unbalanced coil windings. They produce an airy, full tone, and when overdriven, they achieve a magical distortion with the slightly enhanced highs that made the originals famous.

     

    The 60s Burstbucker features an Alnico 5 magnet for a slightly brighter tone. The 60s Burstbucker is potted to eliminate microphonic feedback and comes equipped with vintage braided two-conductor wiring.

     

    Gibson 60's Burstbucker Humbucker Pickup Double Black with Nickel Cover Features:

    • Historically accurate recreation of the original Gibson PAF humbucker with authentic vintage character
    • Unbalanced coil windings deliver airy, full-bodied tone with the subtle tonal variations of classic originals
    • Alnico 5 magnet provides a slightly brighter voice with enhanced clarity and articulation
    • Wound with historically correct 42 AWG plain enamel wire for genuine vintage-style performance
    • Produces rich clean tones and harmonically complex overdrive with the enhanced highs that defined early PAF pickups
    • Wax-potted construction helps eliminate microphonic feedback while preserving classic humbucker response
    • Features vintage braided two-conductor wiring and pairs perfectly with the 60s Burstbucker Underwound for a balanced pickup set
