Designed specifically for the neck position, it combines an Alnico 8 magnet with custom-gauge coil wire and an underwound 8k design, creating a responsive voice that retains the power and precision of the ELEV8 platform while offering a more open tonal character. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ELEV8 family marks the first time Gibson has utilized powerful Alnico 8 magnets in its pickup designs. This magnet and custom-gauge wire combination provides a tight, controlled low end along with excellent articulation, clarity, and dynamic response. The result is a pickup capable of maintaining definition through complex chords and saturated tones while still responding expressively to changes in picking dynamics. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGibson designed the ELEV8 Underwound specifically to complement a standard ELEV8 in the bridge position. With its 8k average DC resistance, the Underwound provides the more vintage-inspired side of that pairing, while the standard ELEV8 bridge supplies the more powerful modern voice. Together, they create a versatile vintage\/modern combination with plenty of range for everything from articulate cleans to aggressive high-gain sounds. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eFour-conductor wiring provides additional flexibility for custom wiring configurations, including coil splitting and advanced switching options.
