Although Eric Johnson is best known as a Strat® player, he has always played humbucker-equipped guitars as well. After getting a new 1959 Les Paul® re-issue, Eric asked us if it could be made to sound like an old Gretsch® Country Gentleman guitar. We said, "No problem!" The pickups we designed are exact replacements for standard, full-size humbuckers. They're bright and have great presence without sounding thin.
