billschultz Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help give me some specifics about a guitar I just purchased. The seller stated it was a 2002 Les Paul Standard, with Classic 57 pickups. I'm assuming that if these are indeed Classic 57s they would not be original correct? How would I go about knowing if they are Burstbuckers or 57s? The serial is 01492561. The neck pickup cavity has LB written in it and the bridge cavity has LPS+. I've adding a link to photobucket with all the picks I have taken. Thanks, Bill http://s1123.photobucket.com/user/billschultz/library/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hello Bill and welcome to the Forums! Your guitar was made at the Nashville Plant, TN, USA May 29th, 2002 Production Number: 261 "LB" - is for light-burst finish, while the "LPS+" stands for Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus. As it seems, - back in 2002 - Gibson didn't put stickers on the back of the pickups that tell which model it is. I'd read the resistance and compare it to this chart: http://www.gibson.com/Files/_gear/datasheets/Pickup_Guide.pdf. However, the output of '57 Classics and the Burstbucker 1 and 2 pickups aren't significantly different. Hope, this PDF helps. Cheers...
