The Gibson Custombucker Alnico lll is standard equipment on the Gibson Custom Reissue guitars and beloved by players for its authentic vintage tonality. The Custombucker Alnico lll characteristics provide sweet harmonic complexity and crystalline clarity derived from its slightly unmatched bobbin windings. Alnico lll magnets are used in place of the traditional Alnico 2 yielding a fatter, meatier tone with more drive and attack and providing the classic Gibson "Patent Applied For" tone with a hint of attitude. These are matched with CTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers and Paper-in-Oil Capacitors that will allow the player to recreate classic tones all at the fingertips, whilst also providing an almost darker, woody tone letting the tone of the wood sing true.
Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail is legendary, and this R8 is no exception. This authentic recreation exemplifies Gibson's tireless quest for accuracy to the original year of production, from the wood selected to the construction to the parts and precise contours throughout. Each Reissue is every bit the instrument and statement piece as the priceless vintage examples, providing an ownership experience that is endlessly fun.
