Gibson Pickups!

It would be a big mistake to assume that all humbuckers sound alike. Truth is, there are a number of Gibson humbucking pickups available, and each one has its own distinctive personality. With its "Patent Applied For" decal on the faceplate, the '57 Classic is a near perfect recreation of a late 1950s humbucker, delivering a warm, even tone with full, even response. From clean to crunchy, the '57 Classic delivers the kind of richness once thought possible only from an original 1950s humbucker. Used in the neck position, the '57 Classic is the perfect complement to the slightly overwound Classic Plus in the bridge position. It features special Alnico II magnets, vintage enamel coated wire, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers and two conductor braided wiring. Thanks to modern production techniques, each '57 Classic delivers all the tone you'd expect from a vintage Gibson humbucker. This one has a gold plated cover.

the tone I was looking for

I bought a used 2008 Gibson Les Paul Studio with stock 490 & 496 pick ups in. I was disappointed. Sure it sounded great, just too bright for my sound. To be honest my Epiphone LP Standard sounded so... read more [+] much sweeter, closer to the tone I was looking for. So I decided to try the '57 Classic. I was blown away. The tone I was looking for. It might not be for everybody, but with the right amp settings it can go from singing sweet melodies to shredding with the hottest slinger around. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
