The G/ Humbucker (variant 1)

from £110.00

The G/1: The Mixed Magnet Humbucker for Versatility

The G/1 humbucker features a unique mixed-magnet design that delivers a wide tonal palette. By blending the character of Alnico 4 with the power of ceramic, the G/1 is built for players who want one pickup that can cover it all — from vintage warmth to modern aggression.

The Science

Instead of relying on a single magnet type, the G/1 combines Alnico 4 and ceramic in one humbucker.

  • Alnico 4 contributes smooth mids, a sweet top end, and a touch of vintage compression.

  • Ceramic adds a stronger magnetic pull on the strings, enhancing attack, clarity, and note definition under high gain.

The result isn’t about changing the pickup’s inductance — that’s set by the coils and steel parts — but about shaping the magnetic response. The blend of magnets changes how the strings interact with the pickup, producing both warmth and bite in a single design.

Key Features

  • Dual Magnet System
    A carefully balanced mix of Alnico 4 and ceramic provides vintage-inspired richness alongside modern punch and aggression.

  • Balanced Output
    Tight lows, clear highs, and focused mids ensure the pickup cuts through without sounding harsh or muddy.

  • Enhanced Dynamics
    From subtle touch-sensitive playing to heavy riffing, the G/1 tracks every nuance of your style.

  • Split-Coil Option
    Designed with coil-splitting in mind, delivering bright, chimey single-coil-like tones when you need extra versatility.

Who’s It For?

The G/1 is perfect for players who cross genres — blues, jazz, rock, or metal — and need one pickup to handle it all. It’s equally at home in the studio or on stage, where flexibility is essential.

Whether you’re chasing articulate cleans or saturated high-gain riffs, the G/1 delivers the best of both worlds with its innovative mixed-magnet design.
