The Gibson Custombucker is standard equipment on the Gibson Custom
Shop’s Historic Reissue guitars and beloved by players worldwide for its
legendary Patent 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. 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.
