I like them too, but today I swapped them for a set of Cream-T Custom '61 as I wanted a little more output from the bridge PU. https://www.guitar-muse.com/vintage-attack-cream-t-custom-61-guitar-pick-ups-3304 Won't get rid of the Classic '57s though, I think... There are Classic '57s in my ES 335 too, and they suit that guitar very well. Edited September 19, 2019 by Keefoman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the guy who made them, has gone under ground. There are still some single pickups and sets circulating, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefoman Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 I've adjusted them to my liking and recorded a tiny bit of noodling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why you like them. I found a pair here for $469.00 delivered. https://reverb.com/item/25264866-cream-t-pickups-custom-61-humbucker-set-by-billy-gibbons-nickel-cover A bit pricey for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
