The Gibson Custombucker Pickup is standard equipment on Gibson Custom Shop's Historic Reissue guitars and beloved by players worldwide for its legendary Pated Applied For tone. Years of research and testing by Gibson engineers resulted in a formula and process that replicates the sonic magic of the original Patent Applied For humbucker pickups from the 50s. This Double Black humbucker has 2-conductor wiring and an 8K average DC resistance.

Each Custombucker uses Alnico 3 magnets for a warm, sweet tone that accurately delivers the sonic characteristics of those highly cherished early humbuckers. Like the original Patent Applied For humbuckers, the Custombucker uses 42 AWG wire and unbalanced coils that are left unpotted for a historically accurate pickup that will please even the most discriminating player. Check out the Gibson Custombucker Pickup for a historically accurate Patent Applied For replica tone with a sweet, warm sound!
