soundsagogo Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hi Everyone Happy New Year. I was wondering if any one can help with information about the date of manufacture for a set of Burstbuker 1 and 2 pick ups i recently bought and fitted to my 2010 Traditional L P. I have attached a picture. Thanks Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I am not an expert at dating pickups. There doesn't seem to be any codes or marking inside that would indicate a date, at least not visible in the photo. Did you buy them new? The photo itself is dated from 9/2016 so I would imagine the pickups are from that year? I don't think it matters too much what year they are in terms of sound. The Bustbucker is a fairly modern pickup that is machine wound, and they should all be very similar. Unlike early PAF humbuckers that varied a lot in the amount of wire wound and thus quite a variety in the tones they produced. Sorry couldn't be of more help.

Guest Farnsbarns Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I can't date them but I can tell you they are after market, and therefore potted, unlike those fitted in reissues which are not potted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought them second hand. They sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
