Topic: Bonaburst Pickups

Are the Burstbuckers in the Bonaburst custom made, or are they the standard 2 and 3?  I just picked up #35 last week, and the bridge pickup has gone bad.  Well it actually was bad when it arrived.  So I want to replace, but want to make sure it stays as original as possible.  Thanks

They're equipped the same as the JBLP's with regular Gibson Burstbucker 2 & 3's.

I had my guy check it out.  the pup is testing bad.  he/I was hoping for a loose wire too.  Can't wait to have it fixed, because it does play soooo nice!

Re: Bonaburst Pickups

So sorry to hear about the bad pickup.

Still, the good news is that the guitar has arrived and it's (mostly) awesome. smile

Congrats!

One big happy family

Re: Bonaburst Pickups

That is nice.  Congrats again.

I'm surprised that it isn't top wrapped.  Did you do that, or did it arrive that way.

When I got mine from Wildwood it arrived top wrapped.

Just wondering.

One goldtop is the JB Studio.  The other is a Heritage 150.  The two in the back are Heritages as well.  The one in the front is a Heritage Gary Moore signature model-before he went to Gibson.  It's an incredible guitar.

Re: Bonaburst Pickups

I'd love to rebuild your broken pickup if you're looking to get rid of it!
