Gibson '57 Classic Humbucker Pickup Double Black

Introduced in 1990, the '57 Classic humbucker pickup provides warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson "Patent Applied For" crunch. They are made to the same specs as the originals, including Alnico II magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers and vintage-style, two-conductor braided wiring. The ’57 Classic humbucker features balanced coils for a smoother, creamier tone and excellent hum cancelation. The pickups are also wax potted to remove all internal air space and any chance of microphonic feedback.

In operation since 1935, the Gibson Pickup Shop is paying homage to its past by offering the Original Collection, which includes this '57 Classic 2-conductor humbucker. Built to the same specs as the vintage Gibson PAF pickup with Alnico II magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, maple spacers and braided wiring, the '57 Classic produces a warm and rich tone with a balanced frequency response. The pickup is potted to remove internal air space, diminish microphonics and prevent stress on the pickup wires. 

The '57 Classic is crafted in Nashville, Tennessee.
