Watch Video: MGB Hot Tuna Mini Humbucker

The Hot Tuna with its crazy name is pretty straightforward mini humbucker. It's small in scale and works out perfect for a lot of cigar box guitars. This humbucker has split coil wiring and is a little bit different than some of the wirings you'll see on some of our other pickups. Make sure to watch our video on that above. We've got four colors including chrome, gold, black, and antique brass.

The Hot Tuna is a new pickup that we've designed and we are really proud of we've done, we hope you guys like it and help make The Hot Tunas a household name.

Black wire is hot, green/braid is ground and red/white are where the coils connect.

Note: Also available with our push pull pot harness. This allows you to easily move from a single coil pickup to a humbucker by simply pushing or pulling the tone knob. Soldered sealed and tested. This is our favorite setup at MGB Guitars.

Love the sound

I'm really enjoying the sound of this pickup in my new 4-string slide guitar. I installed a switching tone knob so I can split the pickup to either single coil or humbucker...sounds great both ways.

Seems well made and sounds good, but.....

Along with matching tuners, bridge, strap buttons, etc I purchased this pickup for a 3 string flying V. I wired it up per the video's instructions but I had 95% hum and 5% sound. After trying every possible combination, I found that the white and red wires together are leads and the black and bare wires are ground, the green is unused. This is the only combination I used that gave good, clean sound with zero hum. I don't know if the wiring has changed with the bronze pickup or if the manufacturer changed the wiring or what, but the wiring in the video did NOT work.
