Burns London Brian May Tri-Sonic Pickup Set
by Burns
The heart of the Burns "Brian May" Trisonic pickup is a bobbinless tapewound coil and a two piece vintage style isotropic magnet. The unconventional bobbinless coil is a challenge for any pickup manufacturer, and this coil is very neatly made. The two piece magnet tested at the upper gauss strength range of vintage 1960s Burns isotropic magnets, with these older style isotropic ferrite magnets giving a prettier more defined sound to the pickup than the harder flatter sounding high output anisotropic ferrite which is found in many modern pickups.
The new pickups do indeed have pleasant defined trebles similar to many original 1960s Burns Trisonics and produce a nice dynamic attack when played hard. They certainly seem a little punchier than some vintage Trisonics and this will probably appeal to many people as they have a little more output than the originals.
