The fretboard is made of rosewood with a radius of 12 inches with 12 frets. The neck is shaped like a slim tamper, and the joint is set-in with a length of 24.75 inches. The top wood is made of curved maple, and the body is made of mahogany. Epiphone ProBucker pickups also feature sand-cast Alnico 2 magnets, high-quality four-conductor lead wire or braided coaxial lead wire, depending on the model and feature set, and are vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonics. The Epiphone Les Paul Plustop Pro has a single solid body cutaway that is made out of solid wood. And the bobbins used on ProBucker pickups duplicate the size and shape of the gold standard in the industry, Gibson humbuckers.
The size and shape of the bobbins also have a significant impact on tonal response. The use of Nickel Silver reduces the occurrence of eddy currents due to low conductivity and provides a more transparent and crisp output. Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers are the real deal-made with 18% Nickel Silver unit bases and covers, the same alloy used by Gibson at the Kalamazoo factory when the humbucker was first invented.
It has fooled experts, vintage purists, and even luthiers who have worked with the best vintage examples from the late 50s and early 60s. The classic "P.A.F" sound is closer than you thinkĮpiphone's ProBucker™ humbucker™ has quietly become one of the most talked-about pickups in the industry.
