The Gibson Custombucker Underwound Zebra is a finely tuned version of Gibson's celebrated PAF-style pickup, offering enhanced clarity and harmonic depth. Built with Alnico 3 magnets, unbalanced coils, and vintage-correct 42 AWG wire, it delivers a sweet, articulate tone with rich character and definition. Its open zebra bobbins and unpotted design stay true to the look and feel of classic late-50s humbuckers.
With a lower output and average DC resistance of 7.2k, this underwound variant provides a brighter, more expressive response, perfect for rhythm positions or pairing with a standard Custombucker in the bridge. It's a top choice for those chasing historically accurate tone with modern versatility and enhanced dynamic sensitivity.
