The Gibson BFG Les Paul is equipped with the manufacturer's Burstbucker (BB) 3 humbucker by default. This pickup is the highest output model in the BB line-up so it's conceived to manifest loads of drive in addition to the classic nuances when one knocks off some volume on one's guitar. Regardless of the enticing nature, the BB3 is not my kind of pickup.
So it's duly removed from the BFG; note the generous wire length the manufacturer included.
The cavity of the bridge humbucker actually includes a metal plate mounting for the pickup simply because the BFG had been chambered in its off-centre region; there isn't any wood to screw the pickup into...
There is a new Seymour Duncan in place of the BB- stay tuned to know which model I've chosen. Of course, it's an all black unit, I've no obligations to preserve the original zebra finish theme chosen by the manufacturer.

note how the duncan posts do not line up over the strings like the gibson pickups do. Don't you just love that? I wonder why that is? Because they really aren't made for that application they are trying to be for all applications.
the Duncan pickup pole pieces DO LINE up accordingly, it's just that from this angle, they are depicted otherwise.
