[Super '57 humbucker - your thoughts]

Gibson is saying the Super '57 is a different pickup than the 57+.

But, from what I've read on other forums, the Super '57 is made with cheaper materials.

Basically, a cost cutting measure- as of now- Gibson isn't offering the Super 57 in the aftermarket.

 

"Super 57 come with Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro II. It is less expensive than a normal Gibson Les Paul Traditional. In general, Gibson compromises Standard Traditional model with those cheaper versions. This often confuses people."

You read it on other forums so it must be true then.  There is no way it is going to made with cheaper materials.  They make their pickups all in the same way with the same materials...in China 🤣

Guess where "Gibson Brands" makes their pickups.
