Product Detail

Gibson 57 Classic Humbucker Pickup
57 Classic


With its "Patent Applied For" decal on the baseplate, the '57 Classic and '57 Classic Plus are faithful replicas of the famous Gibson humbuckers that helped


While this timeless beauty gives you a tone that is warm and subtle with full, even response, it doesn't hold back when you need that classic Gibson humbucker crunch!


The '57 Classic features Gibson's special Alnico II magnet, vintage enamel coated wire, nickel plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers and vintage-style, two-conductor, braided wiring. The '57 Classic is available with genuine gold-plated covers, nickel-plated covers, or open coils.


The perfect bridge-position companion to the '57 Classic, the '57 Classic Plus mimics those late-1950s humbuckers that received a few extra turns of wire. This treatment gave the pickup slighter higher output without sacrificing its rich, vintage tone.


It helps overdrive tube preamps to a smooth level of saturation without becoming overpowering. Made with the same features as the '57 Classic, the '57 Classic Plus is available with genuine gold-plated covers, nickel-plated covers, or open coils.

"Pure perfection (close as you can get!)" by Jimmy James

I have a Tanglewood L5 CES copy of the Gibson.(full size) A few days ago I had the '57 classic humbucker in gold installed on my axe at neck position. I almost feel like I own the real deal now. The 57 Classic is so sweet sounding, this is the first time I've upgraded my pickups and it won't be the last. I'm now going to get the 57 Classic+ for the bridge pick up as well.

"Perfect Replacement" by Eric

I shoved 2 of them into my Epiphone Dot. The pickups that came with the Dot guitar were just not very good although the guitar itself was excellent for the price. I was not disappointed. Those pickups have a nice vintage tone-not too muddy. Just the right jangle. I am especially fond of running both pickups at the sometime. Coupled with my new Vox AD50VT- I think I found the vintage sound I was after!

"Perfect Balanced Pickup" by Narkins

The 57 classic has got great tone. It has a high enough output for lead stuff and warm enough for rhythm. It has that great Gibson Humbucker tone. Try this on a Les Paul or an SG; you'll be hooked.
