Humbucking Pickups

Welcome to HumbuckingPickups.com

Humbucking Pickups are also known as dual-coil, double-coil, or PAF  (Patent Applied For) pickups. Rickenbacker offered dual coil pickups arranged in a similar pattern beginning in late 1953 but dropped the design in 1954 due to the perceived distorted sound. The Gibson Les Paul was the first guitar to use humbucking pickups in substantial production, but since then practically every electric guitar now comes with a humbucking pickup in some fashion. Stratocasters and Telecasters are pretty much the only remaining electric guitars that come with a completly single-coil pickup configuration.

Humbucking pickups were invented in 1957 by Seth Lover, a Gibson employee. Because of this, and because of its use on the Les Paul guitar, the humbucking pickup is strongly associated with Gibson, however, they have been used in many different guitar designs by many different manufacturers.

The original benefit of the humbucking pickup is the cancellation of the 60 cycle hum associated with standard single-coil pickups.
