FemmeParallell Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Hey Y’all i just got my hands on a Les Paul studio goldtop from 2013 (serial number says its from Oct 2012), i want to know if someone has one from this year as i cant find the specs anywhere. This one comes with 57 and 57+ pickups and the info i’ve found online from Studios that year is that they came with 490R and 498T Edited March 6, 2022 by FemmeParallell Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Pickups are easily changed so it probably started with the 490s and someone switched them out for 57s. Having owned Les Pauls with both types of those pickups the 57s to me gave a mellower and more vintage tone, but up top personal preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time having a studio with those PUs thanks 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Those pickups are very different. I like 'em both, but the 57s are always a good choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 My 2015 Studio Deluxe from Musicians Friend came with 57 & 57+ Humbuckers. It might be a Guitar Center & MF special run…….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
