All user reviews of 4/5 for the Gibson Classic 57

micro Alnico II by Gibson originally installed on the Les Paul, ES, SG ... for me this is the best size mike Gibson Humbucker in vintage style was rather large, good presence, it is velvety soft ... not much less than P90 and a Duncan 59 SH1 right, here we are in the middle and bass, I use that method that's best neck up, after he bridge roots, j 'have a preference for the classic 57 + in this position which made it less dry ... also tested for Classic 57 uncovered (no cache metal) I can say that there is a difference in returns is moving away a little vintage philosophy, this mode is that it gives all covered its shade and grain ...
PS: micro fetish Lenny Kravitz found throughout his Gibson (Flying V, Les Paul, SG ....) So for the fans ...

mounted from 4 / 5 years on my signature Riviera as a replacement for epiphone 57 home if they have not revolutionized the guitar is not what I asked them, they highlighted the good violin to origin and given a more "full", richer.
it does not have an Epiphone (even more high-end) a Gibson custom shop, but at least it gives her a clearer, less draft.
I particularly like their sound round, responding perfectly to the attack of the pick, giving the possibility of alternating clear sound and attack more crunchy just by modulating the attack of the strings.
value for money is average in nine, the boards I personally bought used € 120 the pair, so for that price, it is very correct.
Yes I would do this choice, although I have long hesitated turned the handle to a position P94 because I prefer (if we had to pick just) the 57 + rack 57 in the sleeve, a Just over Gnacke for 57 +, more to my taste. but this is quite subjective.

How long have you use it?
A little over a year.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No, the original Epiphone pickups of my guitar.
(A Sheraton)


Cons:
The sound of two pickups together.
Whether clean, crunch, distortion or drive, I find the result somewhat usable.
Tart with a big hole in the lower midrange.

Goodies:
Position I and III very good and versatile.
Personal I do jazz, blues, rock.
These pickups suit me if it is mixed with the position I mentioned earlier that I think is really of little interest.
I will resume my screwdriver again and try one last attempt by adjusting the height of the microphones.
One last thing, I find the prices really excessive.
(Count 250 with installation)
Gibson (like Fender and other brands)
