The Gibson ’57 Classic Humbucking pickup for the neck position is a reproduction of the original Gibson Humbucker from the late 1950’s. In those days, Gibson did not build separate pickups in those days for Neck and Bridge, they used the same pickup for both. To best replicate the “Gibson PAF”, guitarists should put a ’57 Classic in the Neck and Bridge positions. It is actually for both. For more modern sounds, the ’57 Classic in the neck can be paired with the ’57 Classic Plus in the bridge. The guitar pickup features Gibson’s special Alnico II magnet, wax potted to fight high-volume feedback squeal; vintage enamel-coated wire; nickel-plated pole pieces; nickel slugs; maple spacers; and vintage-style, 2-conductor, braided wiring.

The Gibson ’57 Classic Plus Pickup mimics those late-1950s humbuckers that received a few extra turns of wire. This treatment gave the pickup slightly higher output without sacrificing its rich vintage tone, which helped overdrive tube preamps to a smooth level of saturation without becoming overpowering. Made with the same features as the Gibson ’57 Classic.

The P-94 guitar pickup is a unique combination that provides the best of both worlds — the classic Gibson P-90 sound in a traditional humbucker-size housing. Replacing a humbucker with the P-94 requires no routing or other damaging modifications to the guitar. The P-94 uses the same enamel coated vintage wire and Alnico V magnets as the P-90 and comes in calibrated neck and bridge models for balanced output — or combine the P-94 with an existing humbucker for unique tonal combinations. The P-94 component has higher output and sustaining qualities than traditional single-coil pickups, giving it plenty of bite when needed, with enough responsiveness to allow subtle nuances for enhanced dynamics.

Widely known as Gibson’s first successful single-coil pickup, the lean and mean P-90 offers a stellar combination of high output and biting treble response. After nearly 50 years, the P-90 is still a favorite among musicians as a replacement alternative for the typical single coil pickups.

BurstBucker #3 is slightly overwound, with hotter output, and works well in the bridge position with a BurstBucker™ #2 in the neck position. BurstBucker™ pickups from Gibson Gear now give guitarists a choice of three replica sounds from Gibson’s original “Patent Applied For” pickups – the pickups that give the ’59 Les Paul Standard its legendary sound. The three BurstBuckers – all with unpolished magnets and non-potted coils, like the originals – represent the variations found among vintage Gibson humbuckers.The initial demand for Patent Applied For replica pickups came from Japanese collectors, and the BurstBucker™ was offered exclusively in Japan beginning in 1996. By 1999 word has spread of the unique replica tones produced by BurstBuckers. Gibson USA put the first BurstBuckers on a production model with the Gary Moore Signature Les Paul in the Summer of 2000, and Gibson’s Custom division then equipped the Class 5 Les Paul, Custom Authentic ’68 Les Paul Custom and Custom Authentic ’58 Les Paul Standard models with BurstBuckers.The variations in pickup output and tone came from inconsistencies in winding the bobbins, a result of the lack of automatic shutoffs on Gibson’s winding machines in the late 1950s. Seth Lover, who invented the humbucker, always said they wound the bobbins “until they were full,” and original examples suggest that employees stopped the winding machines after the counter reached approximately 5000 turns. When the two coils in a pickup have a different number of turns, that variation puts a little “edge” or “bite” on the classic humbucker sound. That’s the sound BurstBuckers™ replicate. (The “creamy” sound that Gibson’s ’57 Classics replicate comes from equal coil windings.) Gibson then carries the replication process two steps farther, with unpolished Alnico II magnets and no wax-potting of the coils, just like the originals.

The Gibson BurstBucker Pro Humbucker Pickup has a characteristic sweet harmonic complexity and crystalline clarity that derive from its slightly unmatched bobbin windings. Alnico V magnets are used in place of the traditional Alnico IIs, yielding fatter, meatier tone with more drive and attack.
