A pair of pickups that produce that potent "Patent-Applied-For" sound with a
little extra richness from Alnico III magnets.
Includes '57 Classic and '57 Classic Plus humbuckers with
rough-cast Alnico III magnets for added clarity, definition, and richness.
The Gibson '57 Classic Humbucking pickup for the neck position is a
reproduction of the original Gibson Humbucker from the late 1950’s. In those
days, Gibson did not build separate pickups in those days for Neck and Bridge,
they used the same pickup for both. To best replicate the “Gibson PAF”,
guitarists should put a '57 Classic in the Neck and Bridge positions. It is
actually for both. For more modern sounds, the '57 Classic in the neck can be
paired with the '57 Classic Plus in the bridge. The guitar pickup features
Gibson's special Alnico II magnet, wax potted to fight high-volume feedback
squeal; vintage enamel-coated wire; nickel-plated pole pieces; nickel slugs;
maple spacers; and vintage-style, 2-conductor, braided wiring.
The
Gibson '57 Classic Plus Pickup mimics those late-1950s humbuckers that received
a few extra turns of wire. This treatment gave the pickup slightly higher output
without sacrificing its rich vintage tone, which helped overdrive tube preamps
to a smooth level of saturation without becoming overpowering. Made with the
same features as the Gibson '57 Classic.
