Gibson 500T Super Ceramic Humbucker Pickup (Black)

Gibson's 500T Super Ceramic is a bridge-position humbucker™ engineered for high-output hard rock and metal work. The multi-ceramic magnet structure delivers aggressive punch while maintaining clarity across the frequency spectrum. Built for players who demand sustain, definition, and the ability to cut through dense arrangements without sacrificing dynamic range or tonal character.

The pickup measures 12.7 cm wide by 16.5 cm deep, with shielded four-conductor wiring that enables series, parallel, and split-coil operation. Full wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback—critical for high-gain applications where feedback can otherwise become uncontrollable. The ceramic magnet design pairs enhanced low-end response with crystalline treble clarity, making the 500T suitable for both rhythm chug and lead articulation across modern genres.

Hot output and extended sustain define this pickup's character. The four-conductor configuration grants players flexibility in signal routing, allowing experimentation with coil-split functionality for thinner tones without removing the pickup. Bridge positioning and ceramic construction make it a natural fit for instruments demanding aggressive, controlled aggression without brittleness.
