zZounds Gear Experts Say...
The '57 Classic has been in Gibson's lineup of pickups since 1990, but has roots in the late 1950s when Seth Lover designed the original humbucker.

Introduced in 1990, the '57 Classic provides warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson Patent Applied For humbucker crunch. They are made to the same specs as the originals, including Alnico 2 magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and available with vintage-style 2-conductor braided wiring, 4-conductor wiring, or Quick Connect. The '57 Classic humbucker features balanced coils for a smoother, creamier tone and excellent hum cancelation. The pickups are also wax potted to remove all internal air space and any chance of microphonic feedback.
