bluesboy1 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I just received a set of Gibson 57 Classic/Plus pickups from Musician's Friend. Their respective plastic cases and case literature identify them as the two different pick-ups. However, the white labels on the underside of both pickups say "57 + classic". Is this correct? Thanx for your assistance, cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesboy1 Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Please ignore the above message for i have erred. Closer scrutiny of the white labels indicates they in fact read "57 classic" and "57 + classic", clearly indicating they are different pickups. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 A '57 and a '57+ will work very well together. Put the "plus" in the bridge position and you will be further on your way to a more balance sound (and volume) than if they were the same pickup.

Packaging for the "57 Classic +" indicates that it is a neck position pup. Can i still install in bridge position? Many thanx. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincentw Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Yeah, you'll wanna put that '57+ in the bridge because the output is slightly hotter than the '57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelneck Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi, I also received my 57 Classic Plus pickup today and was also confused. The box does not say Plus anywhere The sticker with the barcode says Plus, but neck position. But the sticker on the back of the pickup says 57 + Classic, so I'm assuming I got the right pickup.
