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.

Gibson Accessories ’57 Classic Plus Humbucking Pickup Features:

  • A high-output replication of a late ’50s Gibson PAF humbucker pickup
  • Vintage-correct construction including enamel-coated wire, nickel-plated pole pieces and slugs, and Alnico II magnets
  • Rich, even tone that boasts excellent note-to-note clarity
  • Vintage-correct 2-conducter braided wiring
  • Perfectly pairs with a standard ’57 Classic in the neck position

Rated 5/5

Quality combination of Gibson and Sweetwater

Installed this Gibson Cassic 57+ in the bridge position of a 1996 Epiphone Riviera. The aggressive bite and tone is just amazing. This coupled with the amazing customer service that Kris Eckmann of Sweetwater offers is a winning combo.
Music background: Guitarist, Singer, Songwriter and member of the ATWDF band Band
