Christo_ Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hello, I just bought a VOS gold top 2017. I have a doubt about the presence of the custom bucker pickups because the cover is shiny ... The impedance is 7.80 on the bridge and 7.71 on the neck. What's your opinion about that ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Look under the hood and see if it looks like factory soldering or if someone swapped pups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 All the pics when I googled show gtrs with pickup covers - click on Images https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=gibson+vos+lp+gold+top+2017 So you're probably ok. The bridge pickup is often wound a little hotter than the neck one, that's normal too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlejohnny Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Your readings are pretty similar to the custom buckers in my 2020 Es 355. Wish my covers were shiny too! But you are right, on vos guitars the covers are normally lightly aged. I second the Sgt.'s advice. Did you bought it used or nos?

Twang Gang Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Don't worry if the covers are nickel, they'll tarnish up soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
