Gibson '57 Classic Underwound Alnico II Any Position Humbucker Pickup Black - PU57UDB2

Vintage vibes with clear, chimey tones and balanced coils

The Gibson '57 Classic Alnico II Underwound Humbucker Pickup (PU57UDB2) embodies the timeless essence of Gibson's Patent Applied For humbucker, delivering a warm, full tone with a balanced response. Originally introduced in 1990, this pickup faithfully recreates the specs of the iconic '57 PAF, boasting Alnico 2 magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, and maple spacers. This model is underwound, producing a crystalline 'chimey' tone with more defined overtones and harmonics. The '57 Classic Underwound is also wax potted to eliminate internal air space, preventing any potential microphonic feedback. Elevate your guitar's sound with this classic pickup.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the '57 Classic Underwound Humbucker Pickup produces incredible PAF style tone. It can be used in any position, but we think it works especially well in the neck, paired with a '57 Classic or '57 Classic Plus in the bridge position.
