Gibson Vintage Mini HB Bridge gold

If you choose a Gibson humbucker, you buy from the manufacturer, who invented the Humbucker in 1955. The same producer, who had been winding pickups since 1935 and was the first to use Alnico magnets and adjustable pole pieces in pickups. The quality claim of Gibson borders on obsession, to the point that they produce their own magnets to ensure that all values are coherent. The pickups are waxed and the Pole Shoes (these are the metal tubes in which the pole pieces sit) are narrowly fitting to avoid any microphony.

When Gibson introduced the Les Paul Deluxe in 1969, she was equipped with mini - humbuckers from Epiphone, which had been recently taken over. Due to its smaller size and narrower magnetic field, the mini - humbucker sounds lighter and more focused, but still like a Gibson humbucker.
