These Gibson Mini Humbuckers are a real throwback – a welcome return to a cleaner, more focused tone. They're fantastic for players chasing that classic 70s Les Paul Deluxe vibe, especially if you're using lower gain amps or want a more refined lead tone. Perfect for blues, classic rock, and jazz players wanting a vintage feel.

Product Description

Gibson Mini Humbucker T Chrome, Pickup

Originally, the mini humbuckers were only to be found in 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 pickups (often with significantly unpleasent frequency range) - today, where gain and sustain are no longer a big issue due to modern amps and pedals, the great sound of these pickups is however appreciated once more.

  • The model for the bridge position has a little more output and brings incredibly strong riffs and assertive leadlines to the sense of hearing.
  • Small size
  • Limited magnetic field - a clear and focused sound
  • Original replica with alnico II magnets
  • Adjustable pole screws
  • With cream coloured plastic frame
  • Bridge position
  • Chrome cover
PROS
  • • Alnico II magnets deliver a sweet, articulate vintage tone.
  • • Compact size focuses the magnetic field for clarity and definition.
  • • Bridge model provides a welcome output bump for riffing and leads.
  • • Cream plastic covers offer a classic aesthetic appeal.
CONS
  • • Limited versatility compared to full-sized humbuckers; not ideal for high-gain genres.
  • • May require adjustments to pole screws for optimal output balance.
  • • Smaller size might feel unusual for players accustomed to larger pickups.
