A Humbucker pickup is a type of guitar pickup that uses two coils to "buck the hum" or cancel out the 60Hz AC hum picked up by single-coil pickups. The term humbucking comes from how the pickups were originally designed to eliminate the unwanted 60Hz hum.
This type of pickup was invented and widely used in the 1950s when electric guitar use became more widespread, and it is still popular up to the present. We are bringing back the 50's with this fine selection of DIY guitar kits that comes with Humbucker pickups. Build your DIY guitar with the famous Humbucker Pickup. Get started now:

With this small list of inexpensive tools, you will be up and running and ready to build your electric guitar in no time.

Our stock kits contain all necessary parts (unless stated otherwise on the product page).
It depends on the choice of finish. For instance, when you paint or stain a guitar you will need the surface to dry and harden (cure). This can take anywhere from 1 week to 3 months depending on your choice of finishing product.
You will find the guitar dries to approximately 90% very quickly but the final 10% takes some time. If you can't wait that long you could try tung oil or wax finish but bear in mind the finish won't be as durable and protect the guitar as effectively.
Most of our kits require basic soldering. If you're new to it, check out our wiring guide here.
If you don't want to solder, or don't have the tools, our solderless guitar kits use plug-and-play wiring. No iron required.
You can use stain, paint, or oil-based finishes. Learn more about finishing techniques here.
Our advice: use a reference. In most cases, this will be a guitar you particularly like the look of and want to create something similar.
