Burstbucker Pro Humbucking Pickups

Incorporating a set of Burstbucker Pro humbucking pickups designed to recreate the tone of the classic Gibson PAF pickups the Les Paul Standard Sprint Run produces a rich, vintage tone. The Burstbucker Pro 1 in the bridge position provides a medium output with a well-rounded and creamy tone due to the alnico magnets and under-wound construction whilst the Burstbucker Pro 2 in the neck position delivers a slightly hotter tone similar to '57 classic pickups.

The bridge can now be adjusted quickly using a hex wrench, allowing players to make fast and precise adjustments to the action of their guitar. When combined with the adjustable zero fret nut, the new bridge gives players an unprecedented level of quick set up options. Additionally the tune-o-matic bridge also features Titanium saddles which are proven to withstand and endure the abuse received from excessive playing and performing.
