Description
The Gibson '57 Classic Quick Connect Rhythm Humbucker Pickup brings the vintage vibes of Gibson's iconic Patent Applied For humbucker sound, now enhanced with Quick Connect technology. This design, which has been a staple since 1990, aims to replicate the warm, balanced tones of its 1950s predecessors while offering modern versatility through a 4-conductor wiring system. Players can easily split the coils to diversify their sound without needing specialized tools or training, thanks to Quick Connect's simple, modular assembly.
Using Alnico 2 magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, and nickel slugs, the pickup’s construction follows original specifications. Balanced coils ensure a creamy, smooth tone while eliminating hum, and maple spacers are included for tonal clarity. To prevent unwanted feedback and distortion, the pickup is wax-potted, sealing any internal air spaces.
With an average DC resistance of 8K and designed specifically for the rhythm/neck position, this humbucker provides guitarists with a robust, classic crunch suitable for a variety of playing styles. Its sleek nickel cover and double black bobbins complete the vintage-inspired look.
Quick Connect-equipped pickups are not compatible with pre-2011 Gibson models or any Epiphone models equipped with Quick Connect.
