Gibson Pickup Shop Custombucker True Historic Nickel Set

The Gibson Pickup Shop Historic Collection is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each hand-assembled pickup celebrates Gibson’s legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail. This collection delivers vintage tone inspired by the Gibson Golden Era that gave birth to the Custombucker, one of the most prized and coveted Gibson pickups.

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. 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.
