Gibson 57 Classic Quick Connect Pickup, Treble, Nickel

Since 2011, Gibson USA has been using its current generation Quick Connect technology for fast and efficient control panel assembly on select guitar models. Now, with just a screwdriver, you can replace the pickups in your Quick Connect-equipped guitar with your choice of Quick Connect-equipped pickups from the Gibson Pickup Shop and reshape your sound without the need for special equipment or training.

The ’57 Classic™ humbucker has been our #1 selling pickup since its debut in 1990. The '57 Classic provides warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson Patent Applied For humbucker™ crunch. They are made to the same specs as the originals, including Alnico 2 magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, and maple spacers. This '57 Classic Humbucker shares all the same specs and construction details as the original ’57 Classic but features Quick Connect 4-conductor wiring for more tonal options. You can split the coils and give your Gibson precisely the vintage sound you're looking for. The ’57 Classic humbucker features balanced coils for a smoother, creamier tone and excellent hum cancelation. The pickups are also wax-potted to remove all internal air space and any chance of microphonic feedback.

Note: Gibson Quick Connect-equipped pickups are incompatible with pre-2011 Gibson Quick Connect-equipped models and all Epiphone Quick Connect-equipped models.
