The original Gibson Custombucker pickups are standard equipment on Gibson Custom Historic Reissue guitars and are beloved by players around the world for their legendary, Patent Applied For tone. Gibson Pickup Shop is proud to release the Custombucker Plus. Like the standard Custombucker, it is the culmination of years of research and testing by Gibson engineers. The result is a pickup that recreates the sonic magic of the original Patent Applied For humbucker™ pickups from the 1950s. Each Custombucker Plus utilizes Alnico 3 magnets for a warm, sweet tone that accurately captures the tonal characteristics of the beloved early humbuckers. Like the original Patent Applied For humbuckers, the Custombucker Plus uses 42 AWG wire and has extra windings that provide a slightly hotter output like you find on some vintage Patent Applied For humbuckers. This makes the Custombucker Plus ideal for use in the bridge position, paired with a regular Custombucker in the neck position. The coil windings are unbalanced and unpotted, resulting in a historically accurate pickup that will delight even the most discerning player. The Custombucker Plus is available with True Historic gold and True Historic nickel caps with dual black coils underneath, and in uncovered versions with your choice of dual black or zebra coils.
