The '57 Classic Plus uses slightly overwound balanced coils, exactly like the original PAFs of the late 1950s that accidentally received a few additional turns of wire. They are the perfect bridge-position companion to the '57 Classic, delivering just a little more of "the sweet stuff" without sacrificing any of the rich vintage tone. Since their introduction in the late 1950s, Gibson's famous "Patent Applied For" humbuckers have been considered the ultimate pickup because of their smooth, velvety tone.

While this timeless beauty gives you a tone that is warm and subtle with full, even response, it doesn't hold back when you need that classic Gibson humbucker crunch! The '57 Classic features Gibson's special AlNiCo II magnet, vintage enamel coated wire, nickel plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers and vintage-style, two-conductor, braided wiring. Good for neck and bridge positions.

These "Modern Classic" pickups feature tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic, but deliver a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. The special AlNiCo II magnet gives these beauties a singing quality that delivers on demand.

The Gibson P94 gives you the best of both worlds: Gibson's famous P90-style singlecoil pickup in a traditional humbucker-size housing. Replacing a traditional humbucker pickup with the P94 requires no additional routing or other modifications to the guitar. The P94 features the same vintage, enamel-like coated wiring and Alnico V magnets that are used inside the legendary P90, delivering more sustain and output than a traditional singlecoil pickup but with deep lows, growling mids and sizzling highs.

If it's no-holds-barred, in-your-face hard rock licks you want, look no further than the Gibson 500T. The powerful multi-ceramic magnet structure enables this monster to cover lots of territory. It can scream or growl - never losing its rich combination of enhanced lows and crystal clear highs. The 500T comes with four conductor shielded wiring for series/parallel/split coil variations. Good for neck and bridge pickups.

The BurstBucker Pro enhances the vintage "edge" of Gibson's popular BurstBucker pickups with the added feature of an Alnico 5 magnet. Output of these pickups is similar to the standard BurstBucker #1 and #2 model. And BurstBucker Pro pickups are wax potted so that they can withstand loud volume pressures without annoying feedback.

Put a slightly hotter Alnico V magnet into a specially wound coil combination, and you get the 498T "Hot AlNiCo." With its higher output and emphasis on mid-ranges and highs, the 498T is the perfect rock pickup. The 498T comes with four conductor shielded wiring for series/parallel/split coil variations.

Slightly underwound, with medium "vintage" output, and works well in both bridge and neck positions. The three BurstBuckers - all with unpolished magnets and non-potted coils, like the originals - represent the variations found among vintage Gibson humbuckers - the "Patent Applied For" pickups that give the '59 Les Paul Standard its legendary sound.
