2010 Burstbucker 1 & 2 versus Monty's PAFs
Not strictly a like for like comparison it's true but the '58 Les Paul re-issue from the previous video goes head to head with the subject of the next video: a '57 Goldtop re-issue from 2010. This has the stock Burstbucker 1 & 2 PAF pickups from Gibson in it and I thought it might be useful to have some continuity between the first video and the one after this.
I tried my best to ensure the setup for this comparison was the same as the first and the Carr Skylark is set exactly as before with the same microphones and placed as best I could based on photographs I took at the time of the recording of the first video.
They are different guitars but I hear the Monty's PAFs as both having more output, being clearer and less muddy with an airier high end and more 'spank'. This might be the lack of wax potting as I believe the Burstbuckers which came pre-installed in the 2010 custom shop '57 re-issues were potted.
Levels were exactly the same and I swapped guitars only.
Listen in 1080p and with good headphones or speakers and turn the sound up if required!
The next one will be the '57 Goldtop with the Burstbuckers, with Gibson Custombuckers from 2017, OX4 low wind PAFs and then Creamery '59s with alnico 3 magnets.
I have a website and I would be thrilled for you to visit:
