Super 58 pickups: classic tones without 60-cycle hum





Early hollowbody electric guitars had single-coil pickups with a wonderfully expressive tone ? unfortunately, they also came with serious hum issues. That’s why Ibanez and other guitar makers quickly developed special humbuckers, such as the Super 58 humbucking pickups. These special humbuckers preserve your AMH90 hollowbody guitar’s bite, but ditch the 60Hz hum and other unwanted noise. What’s more, Super 58 humbuckers give the AMH90 a unique sonic character that will add more colors to your tonal palette.
