A true original, the 57 is a bridge humbucker pickup designed for todays guitar player regardless of style or genre. The unique combination of Alnico V magnets and steel pole pieces evoke an unmistakably PAF quality in its tone, yet the active attributes provide the headroom and punch necessary to deliver unparalleled definition and presence. Designed and voiced specifically for the bridge position in your electric guitar, the 57 comes in EMGs exclusive brushed steel, gold, chrome, black chrome or back cap giving it a sleek modern look that compliments any instrument. The solderless installation makes this humbucker easy to install at home.
Ritchie Faulkner's run down of these on YouTube is spot on. Truly inspiring to play through these.

Closest Store Lethbridge, Alberta
I replaced an EMG 81 with the 57, simple "plug and play with the "soderless system" they offer. well I tried....... this pickup picks up no gain and is about 60% quieter than an emg 81 (yes i tried replacing the battery) overall this thing can barley keep up to blues and jazz needs let along rock or metal. do not waste your time with it.
