In 2000, Gibson's new BurstBuckers captured the subtle variations in true humbucker tone with historically accurate "unmatched" bobbin windings and an Alnico II magnet. Two years later, in keeping with Gibson's long history of experimentation and innovation in pickup design, Gibson developed an Alnico 5 BurstBucker specifically for new Les Paul Standards. The outstanding performance of this new pickup (originally called the BurstBucker V) led to an overwhelming demand for an after-market version. With the BurstBucker Pro, all "Pure Tone Lovers" can now have stunning humbucking tone.

I was contemplating buying a better guitar to replace my 2001 Epiphone Les Paul
I was contemplating buying a better guitar to replace my 2001 Epiphone Les Paul, but a complete makeover with these pickups along with new wiring, pots, and caps proved to be a cheaper alternative. Very impressed with the outcome and how much better tone I have. My only regret is not upgrading my ax years ago.
