Description
The Gibson ’57 Classic Underwound Humbucker in Double Classic White brings new definition to a timeless sound. Taking inspiration from late-’50s P.A.F. pickups, this slightly underwound version emphasizes clarity, chime, and nuanced response while maintaining vintage warmth. Introduced in the 1990s, it refines the original formula to create an articulate humbucker ideal for players who favor open, dynamic tone and expressive clean detail.
Featuring an Alnico 2 magnet and dual-conductor wiring, the Underwound model excels in rhythm or neck positions, where its lower output highlights subtle picking dynamics. Wax potting prevents microphonic feedback, ensuring consistent performance at any volume level. The result is a humbucker that balances smooth vintage character with exceptional note separation and clarity.
Outfitted in Double Classic White, the ’57 Classic Underwound pairs classic Gibson styling with refined tonal focus. Its slightly reduced winding makes it a perfect complement to a standard or Plus model in the bridge position, giving players a versatile tonal palette that spans crisp cleans, bluesy mids, and shimmering highs.
