  • Our basic mini humbucker model for that special, significant sound of the 70's Les Paul Deluxe®. Dynamic tone with bite and presence and a nice sizzle on the highs. The neck model offers a round, bluesy low output tone. Think Barry Bailey of the Atlanta Rhythm Section.

    GASmall N comes with a regular long and wide A5 magnet bar (not the small ones used back then). Available in 50mm and with a German silver cover only.

    For neck position only.

    Recommended Combinations*:
    1. Combine GASmall N (neck position) with GASmall B (bridge position) on a HH (LP or Firebird®) style guitar and you’ll get a nice low-medium output set with the typical mini humbucker tone
    2. Combine GASmall N (neck position) with GAScott (bridge position) on a LP deluxe style guitar and you’ll get the legendary, unbeatable Thin Lizzy "Live and Dangerous" tone

    *Important Note: The final tonal result will be highly dependent on the user's guitar

  • Introduction

    For the proper installation and wiring of your GAS Pickups, we strongly recommend letting a professional luthier or electrician perform this job in order for the pickups to be installed correctly and with no damage, which would harm the pickup’s functionality and warranty.

    Delivery

    All GAS G Mini Humbuckers are delivered with proper height adjustment screws and springs.

    Wiring

    GAS G Mini Humbuckers come with the typical single braided hook-up wire. The pickup wiring and phase are compatible with Gibson® humbuckers. All G Mini Humbuckers metal parts, including the cover, are grounded on the braided hook-up wire.
    For the desired wiring diagram of your guitar, please refer to the dozens of specialized websites with such diagrams, depending on the desired pickup configuration.

    Pickup height or string distance

    There is a lot of conversation on this item. The fact is, there is no absolute guidance for a generic pickup height adjustment! The distance of a pickup to the strings is dependent on countless factors, such as pickup output, pickup position, string gauge, the guitar itself, the guitarist’s overall playing technique (string hitting, etc.), and the musical styles that are about to be covered. In the case of a pickup set, usually the pickup height is adjusted so all pickups show a similar output level, but this is not a rule. Our recommendation: The desired pickup height adjustment is a procedure that may last longer than you think; just start with a generic distance of 2mm on the e strings and repeat the procedure (adjust, play, listen, re-adjust) until you are satisfied. Don’t forget to adjust in small steps (e.g., one full turn of the height adjustment screw each time) in order to easily come back one step if you are not happy with the new situation. And, trust us, if you just repeat the whole thing a couple of weeks later, you will probably find yourself re-adjusting the height again. It is something that each musician should go through by himself.

    Dimensions

    GAS G Mini Humbuckers are direct replacements for Gibson® guitars and similar models.

    • We use our regular, full-sized (2.44" and 2.5" long and 0.500" wide) US-made magnet bars and not the traditionally used narrower bars.

    • Yes, however, the typical mini humbucker pickup rings shall be used along with them.
