Gibson Pickup 57 Classic Plus Nickel Cover

For the first few years of their production, the famous Gibson "Patent Applied For" humbuckers were wound with imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with slightly different output and timbre. These were - and remain today - highly desirable for musicians who want to combine and explore a full range of tonal possibilities. The '57 Classic Humbucker Vintage Style 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 conductors. The pickups are wax-potted to remove all internal air and any possibility of microphonic feedback.
