Gibson IM57A Burstbucker Type 1 Guitar Pickup – Nickel Overview:

The BurstBucker line of pickups represents Gibsons drive to recapture the magic of the original Patent Applied For humbuckers. First introduced in the early 1990s, the Gibson BurstBucker Types 1, 2, and 3 successfully captured the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone with historically unmatched bobbin windings and Alnico II magnets. They produce an airy, full tone, and when overdriven they achieve a magical distortion with the slightly enhanced highs that made the originals famous. BurstBucker Type 1 features a lower output, excellent for the neck position. None of the BurstBuckers are wax potted, and all feature vintage braided two-conductor wiring.

Specifications:

• Output: 6.5
• Position: Both
• Magnet: Alnico II
• Wiring: 2-Conductor
• Details: Historically accurate “Patent Applied For” replica with airy tone and unbalanced coils. Slightly underwound.
