Slightly overwound balanced coils
The additional winding is part of the Plus model’s warm, creamy response.

Independent shopping perspective
Gold hardware look meets the '57 Classic Plus design: a humbucker with slightly overwound, balanced coils, an Alnico 2 magnet, and maple spacers. The result is described as warm, creamy, rich, and full, retaining its character through clean or overdriven playing. Gibson positions the Plus as the bridge companion to its '57 Classic. Braided two-conductor wiring and full wax potting are included, with the potting intended to eliminate microphonic feedback.
