Humbucker pickups
Humbucker pickups are double-coil pickups whose authorship goes to Seth Lover who developed the “PAF” in 1955. His goal was to eliminate the “hum” background noise of single-coil pickups.
At the same time Ray Butt, then at Gretsch, was developing the Filtertron, another type of double coil. The two side-by-side coils flow electrons in one direction around one coil and the other direction around the other coil. In the same way, the magnet under the two coils gives polarity to the two windings. The screws of coil 1 face south while the poles of coil 2 face north. This inversion of polarity and direction of rotation has the effect of eliminating background noise.
Multiple models
Since the first two models, the Gibson PAF and the Gretsch Filtertron, the humbucker pickup has evolved a lot. Today there are many variations of the humbucker pickup allowing you to play from the most subtle Jazz to the most violent Metal. There are also models for multiscale guitars and for 6, 7 and 8 strings.
