Product Description

Gibson 57 Classic Vintage NC, Pickup

• The first humbucker was the P.A.F. by Seth Lover (the PAF got its name because the "patent applied for" sticker was still stuck on the underside). It became a hallmark of classic Gibson guitars
• appearing in iconic models like the Les Paul
• and ES series
• as well as in more unconventional designs such as the Flying V and Explorer. For many players
• the P.A.F. remains unmatched—never harsh or overbearing
• but rich
• nuanced
• and capable of delivering a uniquely expressive tone. These days
• even players known for heavier tones often choose a PAF for the neck position
• thanks to how well its smooth
• balanced character complements a more aggressive-sounding pickup at the bridge.
• Humbucker
• The ultimate reissue of the legendary PAF
• Clear
• bluesy sound to fat
• sustain-rich lead sound
• Nickel cover
