"Seth Lover's fabled "Patent Applied For" humbucking pickups were added to the Les Paul Model in 1957. These dual coil pickups, quieter yet more powerful than the single coil P-90's that preceded them, combined with the ABR-1 to create a guitar with unprecedented sustain and tone." -- gibsoncustom.com
