Description
The Bartolini PBF-55 is a neck-position humbucker built for players who want jazz-style tone without sacrificing the noise-cancelling benefits of a true humbucking design. It delivers the smooth, rounded voice associated with jazz boxes—warm lows, a softened top end, and enough clarity to keep chords and single-note lines from turning to mud.
While it’s voiced for jazz, the PBF-55’s classic humbucker footprint and clean cosmetics mean it slots naturally into a wide range of guitars. Whether you’re restoring a vintage-style Les Paul, upgrading a semi-hollow, or even dropping it into a metal-oriented build for a different tonal flavor, this pickup’s traditional look and hum-free operation make it a versatile choice.
- Jazz-voiced humbucker for the neck position
- Black cover finish
- Part of the PBF series, also offered in Chrome, Nickel, and Gold plated covers
- Classic, understated appearance suited to vintage and modern instruments alike
If your neck pickup has been thin, harsh, or noisy, the PBF-55 offers a proven fix: warm jazz character, silent humbucking performance, and a cover finish that keeps things looking as good as they sound.
