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 by Keefoman 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are still some single pickups and sets circulating, though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
