* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
These Mini Humbuckers are a fantastic throwback for players seeking that classic Les Paul Deluxe vibe. They’re really great for cleaner tones and big band guitar sounds – anything where you want clarity and a focused, bell-like character rather than a scooped, modern humbucker sound. Perfect for players wanting a vintage tone without a vintage price tag.
Product Description
Gibson Mini Humbucker R Chrome, Pickup
Originally, the mini humbuckers were only found on the Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. The narrower magnetic field produces a clear and compact sound compared to normal humbuckers. In the 1970s, these pickups were often replaced by stronger (and often significantly lower) pickups - today, where gain and sustain are no longer a big issue thanks to the modern amps and pedals, you can appreciate the great sound of these pickups.
- The model for the neck position has a little less output and sounds wonderfully bell-like - ideal for the big band of guitarists
- where a normal humbucker at the neck always sounds messy.
- Small size
- Limited magnetic field - a clear and focused sound
- Original replica with Alnico II magnets
- Adjustable pole screws
- With cream-coloured plastic handles
- Suitable for the neck position
- Cover: Chrome
- • Alnico II magnets deliver a sweet, bell-like tone characteristic of vintage Gibsons.
- • Narrow magnetic field focuses the sound, providing clarity and a defined attack.
- • Chrome finish offers a classic aesthetic and a touch of visual flair.
- • Adjustable pole screws allow for precise output balancing across the strings.
- • Lower output compared to modern pickups might require more gain from your amp.
- • Limited versatility; excels in cleaner tones, less suited for extreme high-gain applications.
- • Smaller size might necessitate adjustments to your guitar's pickup routing.
