Inspired by the Legendary T-Top Humbucker
If you’re clamoring for the arena-rock crunch of the ’70s and ’80s, then the Gibson Accessories T-Type humbucker pickup delivers the same medium-output tone and high-aggression punch of its legendary forebearer, the T-Top humbucker! T-Type pickups are the spiritual successors to Gibson’s T-Top humbuckers, which slot perfectly in between the elegant sound of the PAF and the all-out fury of later maximum-output humbucker designs. While the originals used a variety of different magnets, Gibson Accessories’ modern re-creation utilizes Alnico V magnets for a sharp, bright attack. Finally, while T-Type humbuckers are unpotted (which can lead to a bit of squeal and hum at monster volumes), Sweetwater guitarists find that this facet greatly opens up the treble response and inherent clarity of a pickup design.
