Replaced the Burstbuckers that came with my Standard w/ '57 Classic and '57 Classic Plus too. Kind of had them around waiting for something worthwhile to put them in. You keep the same electronics? Just curious. I replaced the 300k volume pots with 500k super pots (custom taper) from RS and replaced the disk caps with Jensen paper-in-oil. I like the pick-ups better for sure. I suppose the pots and caps are better but hard to say. Those caps look cooler at least. :chugjboyjams wrote:Back in 1990 my girlfriend dumped me on Christmas and got pregnant - so I used her Christmas money and gig money I saved to come up with $900 cash + traded my kramer Pacer with EMGs to step up to a brand new cherry sunburst Les Paul Standard. It served me well for 5 years, but became a 100% better guitar when I swapped both pickups for 57 Classics. The sound was way clearer and fully balanced with a lot of power and sweet tone. Best $200 I spent on gear. Also have 57 Classics in my ES335.
Thanks for that info.slowpokerhino wrote:Just a little FYI, Tom Holmes designed the 57 Classic & 57 Classic Plus pickups for Gibson.
I read it on the inter web so it must be true.
