Inspired by 1957 humbuckers and introduced in 2008 (hence the name), these
proprietary pickups were designed by Paul Reed Smith and are made with
vintage-style wire and wound in-house in PRS’s Electronics department. They
were designed to capture the iconic tones of 1950’s era guitars and have become
modern classics in their own right with their warm, even, responsive tone. If
you are looking to refine the voice of your guitar, check out these pickups

When we first came out with 57/08’s, we had just gotten exclusive rights to
the wire made by the same machine that made all the wire in 1950’s pickups.
Learning from that exclusive wire, we were able to make really great
recreations of those early pickups with what we felt were some improvements in
consistency, clarity, and tone,” says Paul Reed Smith. “57/08’s were embraced
by our artists and our customers right away, and we have always been so
appreciative of that. Until now, you have only been able to get 57/08’s in a
guitar. We wanted to share these special pickups with a broader audience, so
we’re now making them available for individual sale.”
