Gibson'57 Classic Humbucker Pickup Double Black

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Double Black, the '57 Classic is a humbucker introduced in 1990 with balanced coils, Alnico II magnets, maple spacers, nickel-plated pole pieces, and nickel slugs. It delivers a warm, rich, full sound with balanced frequency response, plus a smoother, creamier presentation and hum cancellation. Vintage-style braided two-conductor wiring handles connection, while wax potting removes internal air space to reduce microphonics and protect the pickup wires from stress. It is crafted in Nashville, Tennessee.
