Description: Gibson USA BurstbuckerTMPickups: Joe Bonamassa has counted on Gibson Burstbuckerhumbuckers for all of hisEpiphone signature models as well as his rare custom models. Nothing else comes closer to the sound of late 50s hand-wound PAF-style humbuckers than Gibson USA Burstbuckers. Joes new 2015 Epiphone Les Paul features a Burstbucker-2TMin the neck position a slighter hotter-wound Burstbucker-3TMin the bridge position. Theres no better match-up than a Les Paul with humbuckers and just like the originals, each Gibson USA Burstbucker humbucker has its own individual voice enabling players to develop their own person tone and style. The original humbucker was first invented and perfected at the Gibson/Epiphone factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Burstbuckers feature unpolished magnets and non-potted coils like the first generation of humbuckers. The myriad of variations in the output and tone of original Patent Applied For pickups 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, recalled that original Patent Applied For pickups were wound "until they were full." When two coils in a pickup have a different number of turns, that variation puts a little "edge" or "bite" on the classic humbucker sound. Controls for the new Ltd. Ed. Epiphone "2015" Joe Bonamassa Les Paul Standard w/BigsbyOutfit feature the now-classic set of mismatched Gold Top Hat knobs for the bridge and neck pickup controls, just like Joes favorite 59 Les Paul Standard. Epiphone's patent-applied-for LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge and the rock standard Bigsbyvibrato along with premium Grover machine heads with a 18:1 tuning ratio, make set-up and intonation easy and rock solid. And of course, the Joe Bonamassa 2015 Les Paul comes with Epiphone standard solid Nickel hardware, an Epiphone non-rotating output jack. And to complete the look of Joes priceless vintage Les Pauls, Joes new 2015 Epiphone Les Paul comes with a classic Lifton Styled Hard Shell Case along with a Certificate of Authenticity hand-signed by Joe Bonamassa.
