Brand new pickups that were immediately removed from my new LP Standard that was just delivered.

I swapped these for 57 Classics so the 61 set will be delivered to you in the Original Collection boxes from the 57’s.

Tried my best to get decent photos but there’s always a reflection due to the mirror finish of the nickel covers. As you can see, there’s a mild discoloration if you look closely at a certain angle. Not a major issue. Doesn’t affect playability or tone.

Gibson '61 Burstbucker (61R neck and 61T bridge) pickups are vintage PAF-style humbuckers designed to capture the clarity and punch of early '60s guitars. They feature Alnico V magnets and unbalanced coils, delivering tight lows, pronounced mids, and bright, sweet highs that cut through the mix.Pickup Specs & ToneMagnet Type: Alnico 5DC Resistance: Typically around 7.85k - 8kΩ for the 61T (bridge) and 7.92k - 8.4kΩ for the 61R (neck).Wiring: 2-conductorTone: Players note they offer a slightly more "scooped" and airy sound compared to '57 Classics, with added power on the high end.Height Sensitivity: They are highly sensitive to height adjustments; slightly lowering the neck pickup can significantly improve clarity and reduce mud.Common Guitars & AvailabilityThese pickups are the stock setup for models like the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s and the Gibson SG Standard '61. While Gibson doesn't always sell them as standalone aftermarket upgrades directly, you can often find pulled factory sets or individual pickups on music marketplaces.
