fortuneteller Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Hi all I have a R9 Les Paul built in 2005. This beauty has a Gibson Burstbucker Type1 and Type2 with Nickel Covered. I wonder these pickups are different with current Gibson Burstbucker Pickups? And this R9 LP's Neck and Body wood is Honduran Mahogany? and fingerboard wood is Madagascar Rosewood? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burstbuckers fitted in reissues at the factory are unpotted but off the shelf, they're potted. Gibson then started to do special runs for artist models with specific outputs and winding characteristics. They called them custombuckers. Now, as far as I can tell, they call all the pups in reissues custombuckers which is weird, they're all custom! Thank you !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
