Humbucker 49.2mm Slug Bobbin, Black

Description

This 49.2 mm humbucker slug bobbin is designed for vintage-spaced (PAF-style) humbucker pickups and is intended for the non-adjustable (slug) coil.

The 49.2 mm pole spacing reflects traditional PAF-era humbucker geometry, commonly found on vintage Gibson-style instruments and historically accurate recreations. Using the correct spacing ensures authentic string alignment, even magnetic response, and true vintage performance.

Molded in classic black, this bobbin is ideal for stealth vintage builds, restorations, rewinds, and boutique PAF-style humbuckers where period-correct spacing is required with a modern visual aesthetic.
