MaadDaawg Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 My set of Gibson Classic 57 / Clssic 57 hot vintage scratch n dent pups arrived today. You have to REALLY look for any imperfection, which makes me wonder if they're damaged under the cover, or, if the minor imperfections on the cover is what makes them scratch n dent? For 30% off ya can't beat it if it's only the cover. Anyone know for sure how the scratch n dent thing works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderhorse71 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 They put the cover on AFTER the "scratch 'n Dent" has taken place. GOOD LUCK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Koegh Penrod Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Question: is the 57 classic hot vintage the same as a 57 classic + ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaadDaawg Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 The hot vintage set contains 1 neck position Classic 57 and 1 bridge Classic 57+. The Vintage set contains the same two pups. The difference is the hot vintage uses Alnico III magnets instead of the Alnico II used in the vintage set. The scratching and denting according to the sources I spoke with occurs during shipment, not during production. However, I don't know if that is a true statement or not so I think I'll follow that up with Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called Gibson and they confirmed that the scratch and dents ONLY have cosmetic damage to the exterior of the covers, the internals are supposed to be identical to the non scratch and dents that cost #100+ more. The Gibson website says you're supposed to get a numbered certificate of authenticity with the scratch n dents but mine did not come with one. Waiting to hear back from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
