Eric Lim Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Why does R7 Les Paul Custom (Normally called black beauty) has lower pickup rings? Recently I have noticed that R7 LP Customs have lower pickup rings, whereas all other historic LP Standard R6~R0 have taller pickup rings.

Black Dog Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Just to clarify, I think that typically most people associate the R7 designation as a 1957 Gold Top reissue. The '57 Custom is also a historic reissue, but obviously not the same and those are typically referred to as '57 Custom. It's a little confusing. As far as the pickup rings, I believe that the lower rings for the '57 Custom are correct. Here are some pics of an original '57. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
