Gibson '70s Tribute Rhythm Humbucker Pickup Double Black

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 Rhythm an excellent choice for drop tunings and hard rock. Gibson delivered a pickup with more winds, strong Alnico V 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.

In operation since 1935, the Gibson Pickup Shop is paying homage to its past by offering the Original Collection. The '70s Tribute Rhythm humbucker harkens back to the warm, ballsy tones of many of the era’s superstar guitarists. The '70s Tribute is potted to remove internal air space, diminish microphonics and prevent stress on the pickup wires. This pickup is crafted in Nashville, Tennessee.
