BIGBENDS Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hey Pippy! I like the '57 classics too. For all of you, here's a link to the Pickup Chart at gibson.com. It shows each pickups output relative to the others. Download it and use it as a reference when you have pickup questions. Pippy, the '57 Classics actually have a slightly higher output than the Burstbucker 1/2.

obelix5150 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Personally, my favorite combo is a P-94 on the neck, and '57 Classic+ in the bridge... works for my LP... The P94 gives good cleans, and the '57 classic+ is a SUPERB bridge pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwink822 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I don't see it listed, but I'm sure that one of the duplicate listings in the poll is supposed to be it, 490R/498T...that combo in my Custom SCREAMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 57 in the neck and BB in the bridge or p90 in the neck and BB in the bridge combo's give you some of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawknroll Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I think with some having higher outputs than others doesn't give a good idea for the way each one sounds different from each other. I agree. I like how the Duncan and Dimarzio sites have charts that show the basic eq of the pickups as well. The relative output chart on this site isn't that informative.

dem00n Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Anything will do. But...if you put EMG's in my guitar. Ill cut you fool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmartem Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I have a LP with a 57 at the neck and a bb3 at the bridge wth coil tap and its incredibly versitile.I have a 135 with 57's and it is a great blues and jazz sound.My sg has 490-s on both and though I like the way they sound thick and creamy they would'nt be my first choice.I mignt even change them for P90's.I have a Big Apple Strat with a S.D.59er in the neck and aS.D. Pearly gates in the bridge with a 5 way switch and it could handle any type of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
