Gibson Mini-Humbucker Chrome Cover Rhythm

The introduction of the mini humbucker in the late 1960s filled a growing need: the demand for a hum-free, P-90-sized pickup. Gibson's world-class engineers set out to create a smaller, more compact humbucker that would fit into a P-90 slot. With its smaller size, narrow magnetic field, and unique design combination, the mini humbucker produces a bright, focused output, while still maintaining Gibson's famous humbucker performance. The mini humbucker was first made available in several Gibson-made Epiphone models in the late 1960s and in the Les Paul Deluxe in 1969. Today, it is best known as the pickup in the Gibson Firebird and is a vintage replica of the original mini humbucker with Alnico II bar magnets. The Gibson mini humbucker is authentic in every detail, from the cream plastic mounting and coated enamel wire, to the maple spacers and vintage braided lead wire. The tone is unmistakably Gibson. The mini humbucker is available for either the bridge or neck position and features two-conductor braided wiring and is fully wax potted to eliminate any microphonic feedback.
