antwhi2001 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 What can anyone tell me about these? On the basis of the good things folks here say about Elitists I just bought a pair on e-bay. paid £67 I'd be curious to know what I'm getting - they haven't arrived yet. I believe they are USA manufacture and similar to Gibson 57s, so I'm expecting alnico 2 magnets, and output of around 8k and 10k.....anyone know? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwhi2001 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Brilliant, thanks. That's Burstbucker Pro territory.....I like them already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwhi2001 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 I got these at the weekend. I've been having feedback probs with my Gibson V, so I put them in that for a starter. Pup swaps on Vs are relatively quick and easy because they're scratchplate mounted. Verdict? Superb, absolutely undistinguishable from Burstbucker Pros. I'm leaving them on the V permanently. Am I the first person here to retro fit Epi pups to a Gibson?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
