Product Description
Gibson 500T, Hot Ceramic Humbucker (Treble)
Alongside the discreet and balanced Gibson classics, a truly fierce model must not be missed.
The 500T manages the balancing act of having a very high output, but at the same time not sinking into muddy fields. A good emphasis on the treble and strong but firm basses make this possible. Ideal for compact boards, screaming leads and also deeper tunings.
The 4-conductor connector cable also allows for more intricate circuit variants.
, Very high output due to high number of coils and 3 ceramic magnets, Treble and bass accentuated, Ideal pickup for heavy rock sounds, Colour: Black
- • Ceramic magnets deliver aggressive high-output with tight, focused lows.
- • 4-conductor wiring enables coil-splitting and more complex tonal options.
- • Excellent for heavier rock, metal, and drop tunings – cuts through the mix.
- • The treble emphasis provides clarity and articulation, even at high gain.
- • Can sound brittle or harsh in some guitars or with certain amp settings.
- • Lacks the warmth and organic feel of Alnico-based Gibson pickups.
- • High output might be overwhelming for players seeking a vintage, mellow tone.
