A perfect replace for any bridge humbuker you want to upgrade.
I bought it, in pair with a classic ‘57, to upgrade my Epiphone es-335. I am not a professional musician, but I have been playing for years to appreciate the difference when it comes to pick a new pair of pickups. The sound is exactly that kind of sweet fat round voice you wantet to find for your guitar, exactly that one! There’s no doubt that your playing is going to be affected by the new sound, regardless the genre you play. An endless sustain, rich of mid and bass tone, which make your tone at the bridge something unique. It might be with the clean, the crunch or even the distorted sound: your new voice will strike you and your listners. Yes, it’s true: it is (they are) a bit expensive and it has (they have) only two conductors, so, no way to split. But, trust me: it does really worth it!
As for Thomann ... forget about it (quote from Donnie Brasco): they are a perfect pair for your purchaising, always!

A standard
Excellent at the bridge of a Les Paul with a 57 Classic at the neck.

This pickup rocks!
My Les Paul felt great in all ways but one; there was something lacking in the sound department. I needed clarity, dynamics and punch. I looked around for alternatives, and one pickup that seemed to gather a lot of attention was the Gibson ’57 Classic Plus. I ordered the Plus for my bridge position and the regular ’57 Classic for the neck position.
The pickups complement each other very well. I got more clarity and the dynamics I wished for. We play music from all sorts of eras and styles, and the ’57 Classic Plus seems to cope with just about anything, and it gives me that extra bite that’s needed to cut through the mix. A very good pickup that lives up to its reputation.

Very good classic sounding bridge pickup
Bought this to replace Gibson 500T pickup that was put in the bridge by the previous owner of my LP Traditional.
This pickup if much lover output than the 500T that was originally in my guitar. Overall it has more upper mids and less bass and high content. The clarity of this pickup is amazing. It is also very responsive to pick attack and sounds very nice even on clean channel.
Overall I am very satisfied with the pickup. It has the old school LP sound that I like. I would not use this pickup for metal, but it's a great pickup fro blues, rock and hard rock.

Strong and Crispy
This is a modern version of the 57 classic, works better with distortion than the classic, has even flow of the tone, sounds great, and retains the Gibson tone quality!
Thank You Thomann !!!

The Luciano Pavarotti of pickups
Great mid-range pickup that stays clean as long as you want it to and really sings when overdriven. Installed in a Les Paul copy along with a Classic 57 and the guitar sounded so good, i installed the same combination in three other Les Pauls. Wonderful pickups.

Perfect on my Gibson 339
Bought this to replace a standard '57 in the bridge of my 339. I ruined the old one trying to take the cover off but I'm glad I did. This pickup is as far as I would dare to go without ruining a classic sound. Quality!!
