Gibson Custombucker Underwound Humbucker Pickup Double Black Nickel Cover

The Gibson Custombucker is a key feature on Gibson Custom Shop’s Historic Reissue guitars, meticulously crafted to faithfully replicate the iconic tones of 1950s Gibson guitars.

These pickups use Alnico 3 magnets, delivering a warm and vintage sound reminiscent of the original P.A.F. pickups. They maintain historical accuracy with unbalanced coils wound using 42 AWG wire and remain unpotted, just like the original P.A.F.s.

This version, the Custombucker Underwound, offers a unique twist. With fewer windings on the bobbins, the Custombucker Underwound results in having clearer overtones and harmonics. While it’s versatile and can be used in any position, it particularly shines in the neck/rhythm position, creating a harmonious tonal match when paired with a standard Custombucker in the bridge/treble position.

The Gibson Custombucker Underwound provides guitarists with a vintage-style sonic palette that spans eras.
