Gibson invented the original humbucking Patent Applied For pickup in 1955. Over the years, Gibson has utilized Alnico 2, 3, 4, and 5 magnets in pickup construction, each grade with its own unique tonal characteristics. For the all-new Gibson ELEV8 pickups, we are, for the first time, utilizing powerful Alnico 8 magnets harnessed within coils of custom-gauge wire to set the stage for a series of pickups that modern players will use to shape and define the Gibson tones of the future.The all-new Gibson ELEV8 pickups deliver powerful, focused tones with an intensity that doesn’t sacrifice articulation, clarity, and dynamic control.
