Is there any way you can hear both? From the website, or maybe there’s a Guitar Center nearby with some installed on one of their guitars? Otherwise, just from the names given, it sounds like you can’t miss with the Plus, unless it omits some sounds of the Classic.

well the plus has a few more wraps so it has slightly higher output. People usually say get a classic in the neck and a plus in the bridge cause the bridge is naturally weaker so its more balanced, but I was wondering if anyone knew from experience or something and could make a personal suggestion. And then theres the burstbuckers and the burstbucker pros.

Gibson Guitars are guilty of importing endangered species of trees. The trees are provided by clear cutting forests in Madegascar. Gibson knew they were breaking the law. Buy Fender.

@guadelupechiquitaburrito , I didn’t know that! I’m a Fender man myself, as you can tell by my name!

I love my strat, but I also love my epiphone dot, and I want to change the pickups.
