Bought it used but really unplayed some days ago. Was kept in case and original box for years since the previous owner bought it new from a store. I've several Les Pauls with Custombuckers, Burstbucker #1 and Burstbucker #3. The Beasts balance between neck and bridge is perfect. Bridge seems to be loud enough, no need for higher output. DCR resistance is 8.3 kOhm for bridge and 8.4 kOhm for neck which is quite equal. Compared to the other BB#3 (8.5 kOhm) I own they are close to BB#3. I'll get in contact with the store and Gibson to clarify.
Readings of all my Custombuckers is ~8.1 KOhm, Burstbucker#1 ~7.7 KOhm and Burstbucker #3 ~8.5 kOhm.
Got in contact with Gibson by Talk2Us. They'll send a Burstbucker #3. Will take some weeks to arrive.
