Guitars: Gibson Collector's Choice #8 1959 Les Paul "The Beast" CC#8 Bernie Marsden Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Heavy Aged Amp: Marshall JCM 2000 DSL50 1983 Ibanez Tubescreamer TS-9 Custombucker: For decades, Gibson Custom has been studying the performance specifications of the original Gibson Humbuckers, consulting with vintage specialists, testing original examples and pouring through the limited amount of historical data from our company's own manufacturing history of processes and materials that shifted over time. As a result, we recreated the most accurate reproduction of Gibson's original pickup materials, average performance specifications from the 1950s, and the techniques used to create what eventually became the most sought after guitar tone across multiple genres and generations of music; The Custombucker. Among the details to capture the original tone of our legendary Les Paul is the proper length alnico 3 magnets as well as its exact materials composition. We've also studied the minutia to recapture nearly fanatical detail including the original wire material, thickness and covering. All the way down to the shape of the pickup covers that had drifted over time as tooling became older and worn, The Custombucker represents a patient, untiring dedication to bringing vintage Les Paul tone to the Historic series of the Gibson Les Paul. In 2013, as part of our 20th anniversary of the Historic Series, all Pre 1962 Historic Reissues in the collection now feature Custombucker pickups in both the neck and bridge positions. Burstbucker #2 is wound in the range of Gibson's '57 Classic, with slightly hotter "vintage" output than the BurstBucker #1, and works well in the bridge position with a BurstBucker #1 in the neck position. Burstbucker #3 is slightly overwound, with hotter output, and works well in the bridge position with a BurstBucker #2 in the neck position. BurstBucker pickups from Gibson Original Equipment now give guitarists a choice of three replica sounds from Gibson's original "Patent Applied For" pickups - the pickups that give the '59 Les Paul Standard its legendary sound. The three BurstBuckers - all with unpolished magnets and non-potted coils, like the originals - represent the variations found among vintage Gibson humbuckers. The initial demand for Patent Applied For replica pickups came from Japanese collectors, and the BurstBucker was offered exclusively in Japan beginning in 1996. By 1999 word has spread of the unique replica tones produced by BurstBuckers™. Gibson USA put the first BurstBuckers on a production model with the Gary Moore Signature Les Paul in the Summer of 2000, and Gibson's Custom division then equipped the Class 5 Les Paul, Custom Authentic '68 Les Paul Custom and Custom Authentic '58 Les Paul Standard models with BurstBuckers. The variations in pickup output and tone came from inconsistencies in winding the bobbins, a result of the lack of automatic shutoffs on Gibson's winding machines in the late 1950s. Seth Lover, who invented the humbucker, always said they wound the bobbins "until they were full," and original examples suggest that employees stopped the winding machines after the counter reached approximately 5000 turns. When the two coils in a pickup have a different number of turns, that variation puts a little "edge" or "bite" on the classic humbucker sound. That's the sound BurstBuckers replicate. (The "creamy" sound that Gibson's '57 Classics replicate comes from equal coil windings.) Gibson then carries the replication process two steps farther, with unpolished Alnico II magnets and no wax-potting of the coils, just like the originals.
