Description
The Gibson ’57 Classic Humbucker in Double Classic White captures the spirit of Gibson’s earliest P.A.F. pickups with unmistakable warmth and balance. Originally released in the early 1990s, the ’57 Classic became the benchmark for vintage-correct tone, blending authentic late-’50s character with modern dependability. Its even winding and Alnico 2 magnet deliver smooth compression and harmonically rich output across all pickup positions.
Designed for exceptional clarity and touch sensitivity, the ’57 Classic offers the rounded mids and sweet sustain that defined Gibson’s golden-era humbuckers. Dual-conductor wiring provides versatile installation options, while wax potting ensures low noise and eliminates unwanted microphonic feedback under gain. The result is a classic humbucker tone with the consistency and reliability demanded by modern players.
Fitted with Double Classic White bobbins, this pickup nods to the aesthetic of iconic Gibson models that made the P.A.F. legend. The ’57 Classic stands as an accessible way to explore the full tonal spectrum of vintage Gibson design — warm, expressive, and endlessly musical whether in the neck, bridge, or middle position.
