Epiphone ProBucker humbuckers are made with 18% nickel-silver, the same alloy used by Gibson at the Kalamazoo factory when humbuckers were invented. The use of nickel-silver reduces noise due to its low conductivity and provides a more transparent and clear output.

The size and shape of the coils also have a major impact on the tonal response. The coils used in ProBucker pickups are twice the size and shape of the industry standard, Gibson humbucker pickups. Epiphone ProBucker pickups feature sand-cast Alnico II magnets, high-quality 4-conductor wiring, and are vacuum-wax potted to eliminate microphonics.
