Gibson has introduced the Aged Greenybucker Pickup Set through its Gibson Pickup Shop. This product is available as part of a limited run of 100 units.
The Aged Greenybucker Pickup Set seeks to recreate the distinctive sound and character of the legendary PAF humbuckers from the famous 'Greeny' Les Paul. When developing this unit, Gibson Pickup Shop relied on input from Kirk Hammett and tapped Murphy Lab to achieve an authentic vintage appearance.
The meticulous attention to detail that is evident in the Aged Greenybucker Pickup Set — from the asymmetrical coil windings and unpotted construction to the reverse magnetic polarity in the neck pickup — ensures that players can experience the expressive, touch-sensitive personality that defines the original
