The Gibson Patent Applied For humbucker™ pickups from the 1950s are considered by many musicians to be the “holy grail” of vintage electric guitar pickups. Among them, the pickups that were installed in the legendary “Greeny” Les Paul™ are some of the most famous. The new Aged Greenybucker set is instantly recognizable from a sonic perspective; their distinctive sound is partially from the out-of-phase middle switch position due to the neck pickup’s reverse magnetic polarity. The Aged Greenybucker pickup set was developed with input from Greeny’s current owner, Kirk Hammett, and with specifications taken from the actual Patent Applied For humbucker pickups on that world-renowned guitar, including asymmetrical coil windings and unpolished Alnico 2 magnets, and cosmetically aged to perfection, giving them the look of vintage originals. Limited to 100 sets worldwide, these pickups are sure to sell out quickly, so act fast while they’re still available!
