Humbucker Shorts

Description: Issued on July 28, 1959, U.S. Patent No. 2,896,491 marks the moment when electric guitar tone was forever changed—less hum, more warmth, all vintage mojo. Celebrate the origin of that creamy, powerful sound found in countless guitars.

Description: Before the paperwork cleared, the magic was already in motion. This design pays tribute to the iconic phrase “Patent Applied For”—famously stamped on early humbuckers designed by Seth Lover. These “PAF” pickups became the gold standard of tone, long before the actual 1959 patent was granted.
