Gibson “Super 57” Bridge Pick Up

I bought an Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro
III Plus over the weekend and it has a Gibson 57 Classic neck and Gibson “Super 57” bridge pick up. The Super 57 is not listed as an item to be had on Gibson’s website. Any feedback or information on the Super 57 pup? It sounds great IMO. Classic quack when mildly driven but can do searing stuff with lots of sustain.

There’s a hotter bridge version of a 57. That is probably what it is.

I think it’s the '57 Classic With 4-Conductor Wiring

It says it’s like the 57 classic but it’s actually hotter.

Didn't they used to call it the '57 Plus?

What’s weird is it’s not a 57 Classic Plus.

The super 57 is a 57 plus plus. Probably about 9k. Kinda rare, it came on a few Gibson’s in 14 such as the 339 traditional pro, with no f holes and a 10db boost on board. Probably other model trad pro’s around 14.

Gibson list these but didn’t give out the spec’s for them anywhere. I’m interested to see what yours ohms out at if you ever get a chance. It probably rips in the models with the boost.

I think they were putting a super burstbucker pro in some of the HP standards recently as well but haven’t seen any up close yet.

It sounds pretty dang sweet. I’m keeping them in. Epiphone did great on this guitar.

My new Epi Trad Pro III Plus has built in boost.
