What players and reviewers say
On the Gibson Burstbucker Pro
“I don't hear the tendency for harsh treble like I got from the stock Burstbucker pro #1 and #2.”
“However, the Burstbucker Pro in the bridge, sounds a little thin, and sometime bright, but in a piercing way.”
On the Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbucker (SH-18)
“Tried a Whole Lotta Humbucker and that went too far the other way as I suppose I like hotter than vintage and it was too harsh in the midrange, too spiky.”
“I have my Whole Lotta Neck set fairly close to the strings (2/32 ths for both the treble and bass side) I have not adjusted the polepieces.”
