  • Ok I'm confused. He said the BB Pro has a hotter magnet, and is hotter than the BB3. But Gibson's website touts the BB3 as being the hotter model in the PAFish lineup. Which is correct?

  • From Hank: Heres the skinny on the comparison of the two models. Burstbucker 1, 2, and 3 use Alnico 2 magnets, and have an impedance of 7.5, 8.0, and 8.5 ohms respectively. Burstbucker Pro neck and bridge pickups are match the Burstbucker 1 and 2 respectively, but use the Alnico V magnet insteadmaking them slightly hotter. The Burstbucker 3 is still slightly hotter than the Burstbucker Pro models.

  • Finally another vlog!

  • yup, had a few technical difficulties today but there are more coming!!

  • alnco 2 vs 5 on sound and response?

  • @krootman12: stop over-exaggerating. i have an epiphone LP standard and a buddy of mine has a gibson LP standard and yes you can tell a difference, but its not sooooo big of a difference that it makes the epiphone shit in comparison. its the wood, the pickups and the tunners. you can spend half as much on an epi and build a pretty close replica of a gibson by upgrading pickups with the BBpro's.

  • How does the BB3 compare with the Alnico II Pro by SD? I have a new Les Paul Traditional with BB3 in the bridge...thinking about checking out a SD Alnico II Pro. However, the BB3 sounds pretty damn good IMO.

  • i think i'll keep my Ibanez Art's and Rg's.

  • can you help me, i have a ibanez guitar and i have a 57 classic plus bridge & burstbucker pro bridge, what do you recommend for the neck and wich one for the bridge, i need a bell like clean and a hi gain, saturaded distortion, i play funk, classic rock, hard rock and sometimes metallica, ac/dc etc. the pickups aren't installed yet, i don't want to do magic, but a sound a little bit closer to that

  • i have a banez guitar, and i have a BB Pro & 57 Classic plus no install, which one do you recommend in the neck and the bridge to play, ac/dc, metallica, funck, and classic rock

  • He said the BB Pro is warmer but I hear the BB III as much warmer.

  • Burstbuckers are made in Korea????? Wow. That sucks.

  • Yeah, they are on the Les Paul Traditional Pro

  • I wonder if you can get a wax potted burstbucker 3?
