News
The perfect bridge-position companion to the '57 Classic, the '57 Classic Plus mimics those late-1950's humbuckers that received a few extra turns of wire. This treatment gave the pickup slighter higher output without sacrificing its rich, vintage tone.
It helps overdrive tube preamps to a smooth level of saturation without becoming overpowering. Made with the same features as the '57 Classic, the '57 Classic Plus is available with genuine gold-plated covers, nickel-plated covers, or open coils.

Gibson '57 Classic Plus Humbucker Pickup Reviews
10 out of 10
"Makes ANY guitar and amp sound good with it's extreme versitility"
The 57' is oustanding in the neck position on my guitar as it gives it a very warm and beefy bass/mid range tone. It also has a tremendous output for an non-active pickup and does not pickup microphonic feedback. The pickup sounds especially good for playing blues lead and the like. I am also going to try and put one in the bridge and see how it goes from there.

"the greatest sound, better than duncan and others...extra !!"
the best way to replace pickups on 70's and 80's les pauls
(on my 72 custom, with the original neck pickup, i have the sounds from jimmy Page to BB king !!!)
before the 57 plus and the original neck pickup , i had replaced the pickups with two 59 duncans. result : this guitar had a bad fat sound.
I bought a gibson 57 custom black beauty,(historic collection) with two 57 classic, and i retrieved the sound. this explain why i bought the 57 classic plus.
