Gibson '57 Classic Plus Humbucker Pickup, Double Classic White

The Gibson ’57 Classic Plus Humbucker in Double Classic White delivers a hotter take on Gibson’s original P.A.F. design. First introduced in the 1990s, the Plus model adds extra coil windings for higher output and fuller midrange response while retaining the smooth compression of Alnico 2 magnets. The result is a pickup that bridges vintage warmth with modern punch and sustain.

With dual-conductor wiring and wax-potted construction, the ’57 Classic Plus stays articulate even at stage volumes, eliminating unwanted feedback while preserving clarity. Its overwound nature gives it a touch more drive and harmonic richness, making it especially effective in the bridge position where enhanced projection and bite shine through clean or overdriven tones.

Finished in Double Classic White, the ’57 Classic Plus channels the same visual cues as Gibson’s most iconic late-’50s humbuckers. Its strong output, creamy mids, and singing top end make it a standout choice for players seeking vintage-inspired tone with added muscle — ideal for pairing with a standard or Underwound model to build a balanced, dynamic setup.
