Vibetron Humbucking Pickups

These hum-canceling pickups give a warm vintage humbucker tone and are available wound to vintage or modern specifications.
These pickups allow the user to exchange the bar magnets with ease. Removal and exchange of the magnets does require the pickup to be lifted out of the pickup cavity (the output leads do not need to be unsoldered). The pickups ship with complete sets of magnets in both AlNiCo-V and ceramic-8. The AlNiCo-V bar magnets when installed give a more mellow, warm vintage tone. The ceramic magnets add more edge and bite for a more modern tone.
Both the neck and bridge position Vibetron pickups have two rows of oversize adjustable poles.
Complete easy to follow wiring diagram and installation instructions are included.
Oversize adjustable height nickel-plated pole pieces.
Scatter wound coils
External braided shielded output leads
Grounded shielding surrounding the coil effectively reduces noise from external electric fields
Wax potted under vacuum to eliminate microphonics
Four conductor output leads plus independent ground allows coil tapping
These custom pickups will fit in all guitars routed for standard size humbuckers.

Comments
“I was looking for a tone I remembered from the ‘60’s and Pete was able to capture that tone in the Vibetron pickups- warm and smooth great for my 60’s cover band.”
