Gibson CustomCustombucker Humbucker Pickup Set Gold
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built as a paired Custombucker set, these gold-covered humbuckers follow Gibson’s recreation of 1950s Patent Applied For designs. Alnico 3 magnets, 42 AWG wire, unbalanced coils, and an unpotted build shape the set’s warm, sweet, clear, and articulate voice. They bring the same Custombucker format used on Gibson Custom Shop Historic Reissue guitars to a guitar-pickup project where that historical design approach is the goal.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitar pickup projects seeking a warm, sweet voice with clear articulation.
- Players building around the construction approach of 1950s Patent Applied For humbuckers.
