A classic Gibson revisited for higher output
The '57 Classic Plus follows the recipe that made the 57 Classic family successful, maintaining a decidedly vintage tonal aesthetic while adding extra output. It is designed to be paired with a standard 57 Classic in the neck position to achieve an ideal balance between warmth in rhythm playing and increased presence in the bridge position.
For which guitarists and styles?
Intended for the treble position (bridge), this humbucker pickup is perfect for guitarists seeking more bite and projection without shifting into an overly modern output level. Blues, classic rock, vintage hard rock, singing leads: it emphasizes attack, dynamics, and sustain while maintaining a very organic playing feel.
Design: Alnico 2 warmth, vintage wiring, and anti-feedback protection
Thanks to its Alnico 2 magnet, the '57 Classic Plus offers smooth lows, expressive mids, and silky highs, with a pleasant natural compression when overdriven. The double classic white coils and 2-conductor braided wiring follow tradition, while the wax potting stabilizes the assembly to reduce the risk of squealing at high volumes. Nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, and maple spacers complete this "vintage correct" construction, but with an increased output level to better highlight the bridge pickup in the mix.
