Epiphone is a Gibson Group Of Companies.

Epiphone are proud to announce the introduction of the ProBucker™ pickup. Currently offered in various models including the Les Paul Standard PlusTop PRO, Les Paul Ultra Pro, Les Paul Standard Quilt Top Pro, Les Paul Custom Pro, Les Paul Ultra-III, and other models coming soon. These pickups are an inspired version of Gibson's BurstBucker, featuring unevenly wound coils and Alnico-II magnets that replicate that "Patent Applied for" airy tone. You'll love the way they sound!

In an effort to continually improve quality, Epiphone has introduced new features over the years like our wiring harness Quick Connector for unequalled reliability and ease of service, an All-Metal Toggle Switch to ensure years of reliable service and performance, Full-Size 1" Diameter Potentiometers for better "throw," longer life and reliable service and proprietary Non-Rotating Output Jacks that feature an improved contact shape and heavy-duty spring steel... just to name a few.

Over the years, the first generation of Kalamazoo-made humbuckers (often called "Patent Applied For" for tell-tale sticker found on the back of the pickups) have acquired a mythical status among guitar players. There's hardly a player in the world that doesn't regard the prospect of owning (or just seeing) a late 50's Les Paul with these rare, impossible to find humbuckers as the ultimate electric guitar experience. Prices for a late 50's Les Paul Standard with early humbuckers are close to $200,000 and then there are a few out there (rare left-handed models, artist owned, and even a few unplayed Les Pauls that still have hang tags) that easily approach the cost of a house in a city of your choice.

So to achieve those near-mythical tones out of a modern guitar, many players think they have to either switch out their factory installed pickups for "boutique" pickups (an expensive and time consuming process) or instead save up for the more serious investment of buying a vintage guitar that's far out of the typical Epiphone price range.

With the new ProBucker pickups, Epiphone now gives its players the confidence that they will have that sound, the elusive classic rock and roll patent applied for ("P.A.F.") tone

ProBuckers feature:

18% Nickel Silver unit bases and covers: This is the same alloy used by Gibson. The use of Nickel Silver reduces the occurrence of eddy currents due to low conductivity and provides a more transparent and crisp output.

Bobbins manufactured to Gibson specifications and dimensions: The size and shape of bobbins has great impact on tonal response. The bobbins used on these pickups duplicate the size and shape of the gold standard in the industry, Gibson humbuckers.

Elektrisola magnet wire: The same wire used by Gibson. Single build (thickness of coating on wire) high quality magnet wire manufactured to NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) standards.

Pole screws and slugs: Manufactured to Gibson specifications, using the same metal alloys.

Also: ProBucker pickups feature Sand cast Alnico II magnets, high quality conductor lead wire and are Vacuum Wax potted to eliminate microphonics.

Bridge: Coil 8.6 KOhm

Neck: Coil 7.98 KOhm
