See All Gibson Humbucker Pickups

It’s no secret that a huge part of a guitar’s tone is the pickups. Gibson has been handcrafting our pickups in the U.S.A. since 1935, from the player-favorite P-90 to the humbucker™, one of the main ingredients of rock ‘n roll as we know it. 

With the launch of the Pickup Shop, those who want to experiment, upgrade, or mix and match to find the right tonal recipe now have the tools to shape their sound. 

Watch the full video to hear new pickups from the Historic, Modern, and Original Collections in action.

The Gibson Pickup Shop Demo

Did you know that Gibson has been making pickups since 1935? At Gibson, we pride ourselves on our reputation for innovation in musical instrument design, but we are particularly proud of our innovations in electrification. From the player-favorite P-90 to the humbucker™ perfected in 1955 by Gibson engineer Seth Lover, Gibson guitars have come equipped with these standard-setting pickups wound in our own factories. Now we are proud to honor this history and introduce the Gibson Pickup Shop to offer a variety of pickup styles and configurations for all types of players.

All Gibson pickups incorporate superior construction and are made using the highest quality materials. Our hand-assembled pickups feature specially made magnets, maple wood spacers, high-quality cover materials, and four-conductor or vintage two-conductor wiring. Each pickup magnet is magnetized at the Gibson Pickup Shop to ensure peak performance. The use of maple spacers (not plastic) helps to reduce unwanted vibrations.

The Gibson Pickup Shop uses Swiss-made Meteor ME-301 coil winding machines. These are historical winding machines; Gibson has been using this style of winding machine since the 50s. They are highly accurate, precision winders that can handle winding a larger quantity of coils simultaneously.
