Humbucker


The only guitar string optimized for the humbucking pickup, Gibson Humbucker strings utilize a special composite core wire and a specially formulated wrap wire. This design offers a unique magnetic formulation to make the most of dual-coil, high output pickups. Each set is vacuum sealed for freshness and extended life.

"I really love the new Humbucking strings! They have a real rich tone to them. I noticed the difference right away. Normally I change my strings after 2 gigs maximum, but the with these strings I've found that I can do at least 1 or 2 more nights than with the previous ones. I don't know what you are making them out of, but they don't sound or feel like the "coated" strings. These are terrific strings, keep up the great work!"
