Gibson Tarback Humbucker pickup 1970's - Gold

I am selling my 1970s Gibson Tarback humbucker, a rare and iconic pickup from Gibson’s Norlin-era experiments. Known for its unique epoxy-potted design, the Tarback delivers a clear, articulate voice with a bit more bite and output than the typical vintage Gibson humbuckers. It’s a distinctive sound that straddles vintage warmth and modern edge, perfect for players chasing something different from the usual PAF-inspired tones.

With its original gold cover and period-correct vibe, this Tarback is a piece of Gibson history that doubles as both a collectible and a players pickup. Measured at 7.39k output with a 10” (250mm) lead length, it’s set to drop straight into your project or restoration.
