Don_Viviano « Halfway between vintage and modern »
Published on 10/04/10 at 06:25I just mount this Burstbucker # 2 in the bridge position on my LP Studio, replacing a Schaller Golden 50 (rplique 50 Gibson PAF, although vintage, much like the classic 57).
The sound is more modern, with a larger output level. Not as compressed as a micro 498T for example, the grain remains somewhat ar but not as much as the classic Schaller Golden 57 and 50.
There is a good tonal balance, treble still presents well, which I find, is not the case with the 498T that I mount on my Epiphone LP (compress more and more medium).
I really like this sound, a vintage but still a little more thrust than the PAF 50. Burstbucker this part, with the 498T (a little more modern) like the tone I expect from a Les Paul.
