Get Yer Fingers Dirty with This Pickup!

Gibson's Strings & Original Equipment division offers the extreme-output Dirty Fingers bridge pickups as replacement units that will max out the attitude factor on any electric guitar. Once described in Gibson Guitar literature as "The critical union between power and dirt," the Dirty Fingers has returned after a 20-year silence on the Tom DeLonge Signature model.

DeLonge, frontman for alt-punk group blink-182, was given some sample pickups to spec for his signature model and he chose the Dirty Fingers. "The Dirty Fingers was so loud and so obnoxious… but you try it now and it's crazy," says DeLonge. "It's awesome. It sounds so good. It has so much more clarity and volume and a much wider sound... I instantly fell in love with it." Because of its aggressive tone Dirty Fingers pickups will also appeal to those who play tuned down nu-metal.

The Dirty Fingers pickup comes with a four-conductor lead and is wax potted to eliminate unwanted microphonic feedback. And as with all Gibson replacement pickups, it's backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

For one i just want to state that tom delonge is a very creative guitarist. He does not suck. You need to realize that he played as lead and rythem while being a front man of singing. Do you know ho... read more [+]w hard that is. Two these pickups are amazing. The give a highly versitle tone that has a distinguished sound. I wanted a pick up to play punk but there were times i needed it to have its sound without having to much "mud". I highly agree with these pickups. close [-]

For a Bigger-Than-File Tone

by Jake Johnson from Eatonton, GA USA

Music Background: Musician in rock band.
These are great pick-ups. I am glad that Tom DeLonge brought them back to life (he may not be a great guitar player, but I like his tone). I bought these as an addition to a project guitar I am workin... read more [+]g on (Epiphone Les Paul Junior). I wanted to see if I could turn a low-end guitar into something I wouldn't mind playing. I have.

Put these pick-ups as close as you dare to your strings (without unwanted noise) and they are the hottest tone you can find (unless you use active pickups). They made my $119 guitar sound like its worth much more. The Dirty Fingers allow me to get the specific tone I am looking for: hot, full, but transparent. If you set your amp up right, you can get a big sound and still hear every note in the chord. Fantastic product! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Ron Daniel
I installed one of these Dirty Fingers Humbuckers into the bridge position of my Epiphone Les Paul, and suddenly it's hard to distinguish the guitar from a Gibson! Tons of volume with no noise, clear and heavy, and sustain for days. I highly recommend making this mod!

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
