Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The '57 Classic Plus is a humbucker that combines slightly overwound balanced coils with an Alnico 2 magnet and maple spacers. It is voiced for warm, creamy character and a rich, full output in clean and overdriven use. As the Plus version, it is positioned as the bridge companion to a '57 Classic. Braided two-conductor wiring is fitted, and the pickup is fully wax potted to eliminate microphonic feedback.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Using as the bridge companion to a '57 Classic in a warm, vintage-character pickup pairing.
- Clean and overdriven guitar work needing a smooth, rich, full humbucker output.
