Gibson Kirk Hammett Signature Greenybucker Set Alnico II Humbucker Pickups Nickel - PUGBDBNC2-SET

As Featured on the Gibson "Greeny" Les Paul

The Gibson Kirk Hammett Signature Greenybucker Set Alnico II Humbucker Pickups (PUGBDBNC2-SET) pays homage to the revered Gibson Patent Applied For humbucker pickups from the 1950s, often considered the vintage electric guitar pickup "holy grail." These pickups draw inspiration from the iconic set installed in the legendary "Greeny" Les Paul, a guitar with a storied history. Developed in collaboration with Greeny's current owner, Kirk Hammett, this set is meticulously crafted to capture the distinctive sound of the original Patent Applied For humbuckers.

The Greenybucker set features asymmetrical coil windings and unpolished Alnico 2 magnets, replicating the specifications of the pickups on the legendary Greeny Les Paul. Notably, the out-of-phase middle switch position, resulting from the neck pickup's reverse magnetic polarity, contributes to the set's unique sonic character.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we like the Gibson Kirk Hammett Signature Greenybucker Set for its faithful recreation of the historic Patent Applied For humbuckers, delivering the legendary tone associated with the renowned "Greeny" Les Paul.
