Gibson '57 Classic Humbucker Pickup, Double Classic White
The Gibson ā57 Classic Humbucker in Double Classic White captures the spirit of Gibsonās earliest P.A.F. pickups with unmistakable warmth and balance. Originally released in the early 1990s, the ā57 Classic became the benchmark for vintage-correct tone, blending authentic late-ā50s character with modern dependability. Its even winding and Alnico 2 magnet deliver smooth compression and harmonically rich output across all pickup positions.
Designed for exceptional clarity and touch sensitivity, the ā57 Classic offers the rounded mids and sweet sustain that defined Gibsonās golden-era humbuckers. Dual-conductor wiring provides versatile installation options, while wax potting ensures low noise and eliminates unwanted microphonic feedback under gain. The result is a classic humbucker tone with the consistency and reliability demanded by modern players.
Fitted with Double Classic White bobbins, this pickup nods to the aesthetic of iconic Gibson models that made the P.A.F. legend. The ā57 Classic stands as an accessible way to explore the full tonal spectrum of vintage Gibson design ā warm, expressive, and endlessly musical whether in the neck, bridge, or middle position.
