SOLD Gibson 57 Classics (nickel cover)

shoryuken

Pair of Gibson 57 Classics taken from a Nashville 335.
Excellent condition. They sound great but I've gone with un-potted p'ups for their dynamics.

£55 each or £100 posted for the pair.

Thanks for the info, perhaps I'll give it a go

Took mine out of my Es335 too. What are you replacing them with? Ash at oil city pickups made me a fantastic set of Masterwound Pafs.

Replaced them with a set of Gibson Custom Buckers - reason being that my brother has a Les Paul Historic which sounds incredible. The pickups in that thing behave like they have their own nervous system. Sadly the set I found on Reverb don't quite do it in the 335. The bridge is alright but the neck doesn't have that touch dynamic attack and gets a bit flabby under overdrive. Was considering something like Lollar Imperials but I'll take a look at Oil City. Thanks for the heads-up

Have a chat with Ash, tell him what you want and he'll put you in the right direction. He made mine unpotted with an Alnico 2 magnet. They sound superb, far better than the bareknuckle I had in my les Paul.

I see that you live in Wales. I live in the N'west. You would be more than welcome to come and try my es335 if your not that far from me.

I'm in Powys. I think it's a bit of a trek but if I'm in the area any time soon I might just give you a shout Thanks
