I've been a big fan of 57 Classics since day one and still prefer them over most other Gibson PAF types, (though I like all the Gibson PAF varieties ),. I find anico V push the trebles and tighten the bass and lose the flubby low end for a more kaChunka focus instead. Much more impact.
Makes for my favourite neck pickup. I like the bridge as is, but I do use alnico III sometimes. That said these are minor tweaks. The pickup still sounds like a 57 Classic with slightly altered voice. A voice IMO that needs no altering, as I found I still prefer that stock 57 tone I fell in love with back in the 90's.
