Capture the Tone of the Late ’50s!

The Gibson Accessories’ ’57 Classic humbucking pickup puts the true tone of a legendary Gibson pickup in your guitar. This pickup is an authentic recreation of a late ’50s Gibson PAF humbucker — all the way down to the nickel slugs, maple spacers, nickel-plated pole pieces, and Alnico II magnets. PAF-style humbuckers are renowned at Sweetwater for their ability to provide full-range richness and sparkling articulation, all with a completely hum-free operation courtesy of their dual-coil construction and wax-potted design. Just like the original PAF pickups, ’57 Classics can be used in both the neck and bridge position of any humbucker-equipped guitar. From soulful blues lead lines to raw rock ’n’ roll, the Gibson Accessories ’57 Classic humbucking pickup merges the best elements of both vintage tone and modern construction.

Gibson Accessories ’57 Classic Humbucking Pickup Features:

  • An authentic replication of a late ’50s Gibson PAF humbucker pickup
  • Vintage-correct construction including enamel-coated wire, nickel-plated pole pieces and slugs, and Alnico II magnets
  • Rich, even tone that boasts excellent note-to-note clarity
  • Vintage-correct 2-conducter braided wiring

Rated 5/5

Classic PAF sound

Placed in the neck position of my Telecaster and it's exactly what I was looking for - vintage vibe and feel and dynamic volume responsiveness! I had to rout the cavity deeper due to the long legs but really no big deal. Worth it for the tone!
