Gibson Custombucker Underwound Humbucker Pickup Double Black Gold Cover

The Gibson Custombucker pickup is a key feature in Gibson Custom Shop’s Historic Reissue guitars, meticulously designed to capture the timeless tones of 1950s Gibson instruments.

These pickups employ Alnico 3 magnets, imparting a warm, vintage character akin to the original P.A.F. pickups. Staying true to historical authenticity, they feature unbalanced coils wound with 42 AWG wire and maintain an unpotted design, mirroring the classic P.A.F. construction.

The Custombucker Underwound variant introduces a unique twist, utilizing fewer windings on the bobbins. This results in heightened clarity in overtones and harmonics. While it’s versatile and suitable for any position on the guitar, it truly shines in the neck/rhythm position. Pairing it with a standard Custombucker in the bridge/treble position yields a harmonious balance between vintage nostalgia and modern tonal adaptability.
