The Gibson 70s Tribute pickups are a nod to the hotter pickups that
Gibson released in the mid-70s as a new breed of hard-rockin" players
started to emerge on the scene. With lots of attitude, warmth, punch,
and increased output, these pickups hit the front end of your amp with
more “oomph” and signal level so it can be driven into overdrive easier,
making the 70s Tribute an excellent choice for drop tunings and hard
rock. Gibson delivered a pickup with more winds, strong Alnico 5
magnets, and wax potting to eliminate microphonic feedback at high
volume levels and created a classic that is still highly relevant for
today’s heavier musical styles.
