what kind of burstbuckers ?

[nmcinc]

i just picked up a great 2001 58 authentic, how can i tell what kind of burstbuckers are in the guitar, was there a standard configuration ? Are there any markings on the bottom of the pickups to tell if they are 1,2,or 3's are the bobbinis (little italian bobbins) diffrent colors ?

Probably 2 & 3.

01' don't have burstbuckers in them. Only 02' authentic R8 have them.

Your guitar will have 57' PAFs in it.

01's authentics had them too

According to Gobson CS the 01 authentics have Burstbuckers. I believe these were the first US LP's to have them.

I heard that all historic 02's will also have them (not confirmed).

a 1 and a 3 seem to be a nice combo.

01' authentics DID have burstbuckers.

I beleive the Gary Moore model was the first Gibson to have the burstbuckers.
