Our take

Who this one is for

Gibson first made the Burstbucker in the early 1990s to recapture the uneven winding of the original Kalamazoo P.A.F.s, which came off imprecise machines with output and tone varying from one pickup to the next. The new 50s Burstbucker is wound with plain enamel wire on asymmetrical coils over an Alnico 2 magnet, for a sweet, vintage-style tone: airy and full clean, with slightly lifted highs when it's driven.

It's wax potted against microphonic feedback, so it stays free of squeal at stage volume and with gain, and it has a braided two-conductor lead. Gibson sells it singly and pairs it with the 50s Burstbucker Underwound: this one in the treble position, the Underwound in the rhythm.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when it reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before it arrives.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before it leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
