Gibson Custombucker Plus Humbucker Pickup, Nickel

The Gibson Custombucker pickups are iconic components featured in Gibson Custom Historic Reissue guitars, celebrated worldwide for their signature Patent Applied For tone. The Gibson Pickup Shop now introduces the Custombucker Plus, an evolution born from extensive engineering research to authentically capture the vintage sound of the original 1950s Patent Applied For humbuckers. Utilizing Alnico 3 magnets, this pickup delivers a warm, nuanced tone true to the early classics. It employs 42 AWG wire with additional coil windings, yielding a slightly higher output ideal for bridge placement alongside a standard Custombucker in the neck. The coils are unbalanced and unpotted, preserving historical accuracy and tonal clarity. Available with gold or nickel covers featuring double black bobbins, or as uncovered versions with your choice of double black or zebra bobbins.
