Gibson '57 Classic Quick Connect Rhythm Neck Humbucker Guitar Pickup, Quick Connect 4-Conductor, Nickel Cover

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.
