I bought the burstbucker pro pickups to replace the cheap chinese fitted copies on the cheap chinese copy guitar i purchased. The sound was instantly awesome as soon as they were fitted, they have a great rock tone and superb clean tone and now my cheap chinese copy guitar sounds as good as My Gibson Les Paul Studio that ive had since new in 1992. i love the tone and play both rhythm and lead guitar parts and it works so welll for both. I run through a Marshall JCM900 head and 1960 cabs and these pick ups have been everything i wanted tonally, not too hot but still sounding heavy when driven and giving that classic Gibson tone to a non gibson guitar. I cant fault them, they are awesome.
