Gibson ’57 Classic Humbucker Neck/Bridge – Double Black – OVERVIEW

Gibson ’57 Classic Humbucker Pickup – Double Black, Alnico 2, 2-Conductor, Wax Potted (Used)

Want vintage tone with modern reliability? Then look no further than the Gibson ’57 Classic Humbucker — a faithful recreation of Gibson’s legendary PAF pickups. Introduced in 1990, this model captures the warmth, balance, and character that defined early Gibson electrics. Even better, this one features double black bobbins, giving you that stripped-down, no-nonsense aesthetic.

Right from the first note, the ’57 Classic delivers smooth, creamy tone with rich mids and rounded highs. Thanks to the Alnico 2 magnet, you get warmth and bloom without sacrificing clarity or punch. As a result, your clean tones shimmer while your overdriven tones stay thick and articulate.

Additionally, Gibson builds these pickups to original vintage specs. That includes nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and vintage-style braided 2-conductor wiring. Therefore, you get not just the sound but the soul of a true vintage pickup — without the vintage price tag.

Moreover, the coils are carefully balanced. Because of this, the pickup cancels hum effectively and produces a smooth tonal response across all six strings. Whether you place it in the neck or the bridge, it performs with exceptional musicality and character.

Even more, this pickup is wax potted to eliminate unwanted feedback. So, you can crank your amp or hit the stage without worrying about squeal or noise.

With a DC resistance of 8K, this pickup works beautifully for blues, jazz, rock, soul, and even classic metal. You get authentic PAF crunch and sustain — straight from the source.

In short, if you’re after vintage Gibson tone in a rock-solid, modern form, this ’57 Classic checks every box.
