OK, so less expensive than another Les Paul :grin:.

The Studio I bought in April is great - plays great, feels great, looks great...but the stock BB Pros just weren't doing it for me. After playing with the heights, and the settings, and the knobs, I did a quick Reverb search to see what anyone might be selling with the Gibson Quick Connects, since I don't have good soldering equipment and don't want to buy any. Lo and behold, a set of Zebra Burstbucker 61s with quick connects was available, under $200 for the pair, and into my cart they went.

They arrived this evening and went right into the guitar. I gotta say, I like the quick connect - the most time consuming part was getting them into the pickup rings. Set them to the same height as the 61s in my Standard, and away we go - they sound excellent. I like the look of the Zebras better than covered pickups as well, so it's a nice bonus.

It’s cool that you can just swap pickups for other Gibson pickups without soldering. It would be nice if the entire industry could adopt the same standard. It’s absurd that in 2025 most pickups still have to be soldered. Imagine what it would be like if computer parts still had to be soldered together!
