Gibson Custombucker Plus Pickup Nickel

The Gibson Custombucker Plus Pickup comes from years of testing by Gibson engineers. It uses Alnico 3 magnets, which give every note a warm, sweet sound. The coils are wound with extra wire, so the output is a bit stronger than most humbuckers. This pickup uses unbalanced coils and is left unpotted, just like the old Patent Applied For models from the 1950s. Each one has double black bobbins under a True Historic nickel cover. The 2-conductor wiring makes installation simple for most electric guitars. The average resistance is 8.6K, so it gives a full, loud signal without losing the classic Gibson tone. Players can use it in any position, but it works well in the bridge spot when paired with a regular custombucker at the neck.

Gibson Build Delivers Hot Output and Vintage Tone

Players who care about classic sound and want extra power for solos will like this pickup. The Alnico 3 magnets and unpotted coils help each note ring out with more sustain. Extra windings mean higher output, which helps when you want to play loud or cut through a mix. The unbalanced coils add a bit of character to your sound, so chords and leads stand out. If you swap this pickup into your guitar, you’ll hear the difference—your playing gets more punch, and your tone stays true to vintage Gibson history.
