btoth76 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hello. Plain vs. figured top. Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Seems to me that Plaintop has no weight relief, no flame and costs less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoross Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 ok so i guess thats the only difference ,i thought there were differences with the pickups i just read 57 classic and 57 classic plus altough the normal traditional got 57 classic alnico 2 and 57 classic plus alnico 2 dont really know just read that.

btoth76 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 You are welcome! 57 Classic/Classic Plus pickups are made with AlNiCo II magnets. It's just two pickups, not four as Your post suggests. Bence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoross Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 yeah well i ment the plain top got 57 classic and 57 classic plus and the normal traditional got the same just alnico 2 thats what i just read on sweetwater :) but im happy the plain top got non weight relief the sound will be better for sure in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs orange widow Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 So what's the plain top weigh??? My buddies flame top has weight relief an comes in at 10.2lbs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Yes, I understood. But '57 Classics are made exclusively with AlNiCo II - nothing else. For example, if You take a '57 Classic Plus pickup, and replace the magnet with AlNiCo V type, You will end up with something like a 498T. Why would Gibson do that? Bence.

Mr. C.O. Jones Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 yeah well i ment the plain top got 57 classic and 57 classic plus and the normal traditional got the same just alnico 2 thats what i just read on sweetwater :) but im happy the plain top got non weight relief the sound will be better for sure in my opinion Wait until yours arrives, then take it to a store and compare it with others. Don't be surprised if you find one maybe a wheight relived with different pickups that sounds and feels better than yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoross Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 everything is possible but im sure i will love that guitar just like i love all my traditionals. However my biggest dream is a custom shop that would be awesome but thats not for the order now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
