Supercharged PAF Power
Looking for a PAF-style pickup with enhanced output? The Gibson Accessories ’57 Classic Plus pickup is an authentic recreation of a late ’50s Gibson PAF humbucker — all the way down to the nickel slugs, maple spacers, nickel-plated pole pieces, and Alnico II magnets — but constructed with a hotter wind to drive your favorite tube amp straight into the sweet spot! PAF-style humbuckers are renowned at Sweetwater for their ability to provide full-range richness and sparkling articulation, all with a completely hum-free operation courtesy of their dual-coil construction and wax-potted design. Since both bridge and neck position PAFs are traditionally the exact same wind, this version of the ’57 Classic is designed to be placed into your guitar’s bridge position to complement a standard ’57 Classic (or any other lower-output humbucker) in the neck position. From soulful blues lead lines to raw rock ’n’ roll, the Gibson Accessories ’57 Classic Plus humbucking pickup merges the best elements of both vintage tone and modern construction.
