Gibson Custombucker Underwound Alnico III Any Position Humbucker Pickup Nickel - PUCBUDBNC2

Historically accurate Patent Applied For replica with unbalanced coils and a sweet, warm tone

The Gibson Custombucker Underwound Alnico III Humbucker Pickup builds upon the legendary tone of the standard Gibson Custombucker, a staple on the Historic Reissue guitars from the Gibson Custom Shop. Renowned worldwide for its authentic Patent Applied For humbucker tone, the Custombucker Underwound takes it a step further with a unique twist. Utilising Alnico 3 magnets, it delivers a warm and sweet tone that faithfully reproduces the sonic magic of the original 1950s Patent Applied For pickups.

What sets the Custombucker Underwound apart is its underwound design, featuring fewer windings on the bobbins. This results in more clearly defined overtones and harmonics, offering a brighter tone in the rhythm position. Ideal for pairing with a standard Custombucker in the treble position, it retains the historical accuracy of unpotted and unbalanced coils and 42 AWG.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we like the Gibson Custombucker Underwound for preserving the vintage charm of the original Patent Applied For humbuckers.
