Versatile Burstbucker Pickups

At the heart of the ES Supreme's impressive tonal range are a pair of powerful Gibson Burstbucker pickups. The Burstbucker Rhythm Pro in the neck delivers warm, articulate rhythm tones perfect for chord work, while the hotter Burstbucker Lead Pro bridge pickup screams with harmonically rich lead tones. Use the push/pull volume pots to tap the pickups for even more voicing variations—from glassy single-coil tones to thick, meaty humbuckers and everything in between.
