The Gibson '57 Classic Quick Connect Treble Humbucker Pickup continues Gibson's tradition of innovation in guitar sound customization. Launched in 1990, the '57 Classic has become the go-to choice for guitarists seeking the authentic, vintage Gibson tone. Designed to mirror the original specifications, this pickup features Alnico 2 magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, and maple spacers, providing a warm, full tone that captures the classic Gibson crunch.

With its introduction in 2011, Gibson's Quick Connect technology revolutionized pickup installation, allowing guitarists to change their sound easily without specialized tools or training. The '57 Classic Quick Connect version retains all the characteristics of the original but adds modern versatility with 4-conductor wiring. This feature allows for coil splitting, offering guitarists the option to transform their Gibson into a vintage-sounding instrument with the flick of a switch. Additionally, each pickup is wax-potted to eliminate internal air space and prevent microphonic feedback, ensuring a pure and resonant sound.

This pickup is voiced for the treble/bridge and comes with a sleek nickel cover and double black bobbins. Whether upgrading your current guitar or customizing a new one, the Gibson '57 Classic Quick Connect Treble Humbucker Pickup offers a reliable and high-quality option for achieving vintage vibes with rich, warm tones and smooth, balanced coil sounds.

Quick Connect-equipped pickups are not compatible with pre-2011 Gibson models or any Epiphone models equipped with Quick Connect.
