Gibson 57 Classic Humbucker Pickup, Nickel
- DESCRIPTION
First launched in 1990, the ’57 Classic delivers a warm, rich tone with a well-rounded response, capturing the iconic Gibson Patent Applied For humbucker™ sound. Built to original specifications, it uses Alnico 2 magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces and slugs, maple spacers, and vintage-style two-conductor braided wiring. The balanced coil design offers a smoother, creamier sound with superior hum cancellation. Additionally, the pickups are wax potted to eliminate internal air gaps and prevent microphonic feedback, ensuring reliable performance.
