The Gibson Super 57 pickup(Gibson’s 4 conductor version of the Gibson 57 Classic Plus)it seems that the Super 57 has more gain then the 57 classic plus it’s more open and bright with more push.I compared it to the Duncan 59 and some boutique high priced PAFs and I Like it much better. I also compared it to the Duncan 78 and I like the Super 57 much better it had more cut/edge then the 78, more open and loud, anyway excellent pickup.

There's some conflicting information out there, but, by most accounts, the Super 57 is actually a slightly overwound 57 Classic Plus, so not the same. I believe there were official specs posted briefly that showed the Plus at 8.3K or so and the Super at 8.7K.
A respected Gibson forum member posted this:
The Super 57 is the 4 conductor coil/tapable version of the Classic Plus with more winds/coil...The Classic has 5250 winds/coil, the Classic Plus has 5400 winds/coil and the Super has 5750 winds/coil.

Re: Gibson Super 57
Gibson made a four conductor version of there 57 Classic pickups so they made the 57 classic plus the four conductor version with a couple extra winds this was explained to me by a Gibson tech and also someone I know in the Gibson Custom shop
