This is a set of Jason Lollar custom wound Mini hums.

 

Rather jangly I thought. but IMHO not a good a fit for the Korina the guitar is built from.

I honestly expected something a bit fatter sounding. these sounded like Rickenbacker pickups to me. only not as cool.

correct me if im wrong but arent the ones with pole pieces showing firebird or burstbuckers and not mini-hums technically?

 

I know mine are the new fangled mini-hums, so now Gibson has 3 distinct small hum bucker designs: firebird, mini-hum ,and new mini-hum

 

its all rather confusing lol

I don't really understand the point of having downsized humbuckers, anyone care to explain?

 

They sound different. :idea:

 

"The mini-humbucker is a humbucking guitar pickup (used in electric guitars) originally created by The Epiphone Company. This pickup resembles a small Gibson PAF humbucker although, it is constructed differently and produces clearer, brighter tones that are quite unlike typical Gibson sounds, and fits well between single coils and full-sized humbuckers in the tonal spectrum. It is frequently used in jazz guitars, mounted under the fingerboard or on the pickguard."
