Gibson Pickup 57 Classic Plus Double Black

Description

Gibson Pickup 57 Classic Plus Double Black

During the early years of their production, the famous Gibson "Patent Applied For" humbuckers were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with slightly different output and tone. These were - and remain today - highly desirable for musicians who want to combine and explore a full range of tonal possibilities. The '57 Classic Vintage Style Humbucker is the result of Gibson's effort to capture and recreate this renowned characteristic. Introduced in 1992, the Classic '57 provides a warm, full sound with a balanced response, with that classic Gibson PAF humbucker crunch. They are made to the exact specifications of the original PAFs, including Alnico II magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, maple spacers, and vintage-style braided wire. The pickups are wax-potted to remove all internal air and any possibility of microphonic feedback.
