Gibson Greenybucker Set | Double Black - Nickel Cover
Reverse-Wound Rhythm Pickup - Asymetrical Coil Windings - Unpolished Alnico 2 Magnets
The Gibson Greenybucker Pickup Set pays homage to the revered 1950s Patent Applied For humbuckers, known as the holy grail of vintage pickups. These pickups capture the unique essence of Greeny's legendary tone, featuring a distinctive out-of-phase middle switch position due to the reverse magnetic polarity of the neck pickup. Crafted in collaboration with Kirk Hammett, Greeny's current owner, they faithfully replicate the vintage magic with asymmetrical coil windings and unpolished Alnico 2 magnets.
The Gibson Greenybucker Pickup Set takes inspiration from the iconic Gibson Patent Applied For humbuckers of the 1950s, widely regarded as the holy grail of vintage electric guitar pickups. Amongst these vintage gems, the set that graced the legendary "Greeny" Les Paul stands out as truly legendary. What sets the Greenybuckers apart is their distinct sonic character, a characteristic partially attributed to the out-of-phase middle switch position, a result of the neck pickup's reverse magnetic polarity.
In crafting the Greenybucker pickup set, meticulous attention to detail was paramount. The development process involved collaboration with none other than Kirk Hammett, the current custodian of Greeny. The specifications for these pickups were derived directly from the original Patent Applied For humbuckers found on the world-renowned Greeny Les Paul. This includes features like asymmetrical coil windings and unpolished Alnico 2 magnets, ensuring that the essence of those vintage tones is faithfully recreated.
