Gibson 57 Classic Plus Pickup - Nickel Cover

The Gibson 57 Classic Plus Pickup: Slightly Overwound, Always Authentic

Vintage-Inspired Tone with Extra Output

The Gibson 57 Classic Plus Pickup captures the soul of late '50s humbuckers with a subtle yet impactful twist. Using slightly overwound coils, this pickup brings a bit more punch while preserving that signature warm, velvety tone. Whether you're looking to push your clean tones into creamy harmonic bliss or drive an amp into vintage saturation, the Classic Plus brings a satisfying dynamic response that rewards expressive playing.

Authentic Construction for True Classic Feel

Every component of the '57 Classic Plus is built to replicate the best of Gibson's historical craftsmanship. Featuring Alnico 2 magnets, enamel-coated wiring, and maple spacers, this pickup is wax-potted to prevent microphonic feedback while maintaining tonal integrity. The nickel cover and double black bobbins add a timeless visual touch that will look right at home in any traditional or modern instrument.

Designed for the Bridge Position

The '57 Classic Plus is designed specifically for the bridge position, making it the perfect tonal complement to the standard '57 Classic in the neck. Its slightly higher output provides just the right amount of bite and presence for lead tones that sing, while retaining the balance and warmth players crave from vintage-style pickups.

Smooth Performance, Modern Reliability

Though it pays homage to Gibson’s original "Patent Applied For" design, the '57 Classic Plus benefits from modern reliability. The braided two-conductor wiring ensures solid signal transmission, and wax potting keeps everything noise-free and stage-ready. It's a seamless integration of past and present.

Aesthetic and Functional Elegance

Topped with a sleek nickel cover, the pickup’s visuals match its sonic class. Whether installed in a vintage Les Paul reissue or a modern semi-hollow, the '57 Classic Plus will deliver both style and substance. From jazz to blues to rock, it’s a standout choice for players seeking authentic tone without compromise.
