Gibson 57 Classic Alnico Humbucker Pickup (Nickel)

The Gibson 57 Classic humbucker captures the legendary Patent Applied For tone that defined rock history, bringing authentic vintage character to modern players. Since its introduction in 1990, this pickup has become synonymous with warm, full-bodied sound and that unmistakable classic Gibson crunch that guitarists have coveted for decades.

Built to original specifications, the 57 Classic features Alnico 2 magnets paired with nickel-plated pole pieces and nickel slugs, complemented by traditional maple spacers. The vintage-style two-conductor braided wiring maintains period-correct construction methods, ensuring authentic tonal reproduction that stays true to the original Patent Applied For designs.

The balanced coil design produces a smoother, creamier tone while providing excellent hum cancellation for quiet operation. Each pickup undergoes wax potting to eliminate internal air spaces and prevent microphonic feedback, guaranteeing reliable performance whether you’re recording in the studio or performing on stage.
