The Gibson Pickup Shop expands its humbucker offerings with an exclusive Double Classic White colorway for Dirty Fingers pickups

Powerful humbuckers designed to give your tone more power

The Gibson Pickup Shop has wound around into a new iteration of Dirty Fingers™ pickups with exclusive Double Classic White bobbins for the Dirty Fingers and the Dirty Fingers SM designs. And, of course, you can still get these same humbuckers™ in a blackout colorway.

The Dirty Fingers SM continues the tradition also present in the Onyx version, using a single magnet instead of the usual three-magnet configuration. This produces increased midrange punch without compromising the original tone of your guitar. Now, you can have it in two colors: Double Classic White and Onyx.

The Dirty Fingers SM also features shielded, four-conductor wiring for series, parallel, or split-coil operation and is fully wax-potted to eliminate any chance of microphonic feedback. It also has short baseplate legs, making it easy to install in most guitars routed for humbucker pickups. It’s an excellent choice for modern or classic rock players.

  • Position: Any
  • Magnet: Ceramic
  • Wiring: 4-Conductor
  • Cover: None

In tandem, the original Gibson Dirty Fingers humbucker is an accurate replica of the famous super-hot humbucker introduced by Gibson in the 1970s. Appropriately named, the Gibson Dirty Fingers Double Classic White pickup is manufactured with three powerful ceramic magnets to produce massive output for maximum in-your-face output without compromising the original tone of your guitar in any way. This new version of the Dirty Fingers features Double Classic White bobbins for an iconic appearance.

The pickup’s overwound yet balanced coils feature adjustable pole pieces, which allow you to fine-tune the output of each individual string. The Dirty Fingers also features shielded, four-conductor wiring for series, parallel, or split-coil operation and is fully wax-potted to eliminate any chance of microphonic feedback. Whether you’re riffing in a dropped tuning or playing lead, the Gibson Dirty Fingers pickup puts your sound out front. If you want maximum output and sustain, this is your pickup.
