A humbucker is a type of electric guitar pickup.

All magnetic pickups are sensitive to electronic noise, emitted from everything from light bulbs to computer screens. This noise can be quite pronounced, and sounds like a constant hum or buzz, usually pulsing on 50 or 60 Hz, depending of locale.

Humbuckers get their name because they cancel out a large proportion of the hum (they "buck the hum"), since they consist of two standard single-coil magnetic pickups, usually side by side, with opposing electric and magnetic polarity. This wiring is sometimes mistakenly referred to as being wired "out of phase". Signals that radiate into both coils with equal amplitude tend to cancel each other out when they travel through both coils.
