Happy owner of an old Ibanez Les Paul (PF300) of 1978, I wanted to boost the sound a bit by changing the PAF pickups Ibanez Super 70 that the teams at the start (and are also excellent but missing microphones can be a bit of definition).
Following information taken from right to left, not being an expert, I thought I had to type in the Gibson because it was the sound I wanted. Then: 490 + R or 498T Classic 57 and Classic 57 +? I chose the latter couple, a little more expensive and seemed to be top for rock, blues and hard rock. In passing, I note that my luthier had discouraged new Gibson pickups (the burstbuckers 1, 2 or 3 that are too biting seems too modern, in short, not very vintage ...)
Having struggled to find a pair 57/57 + (57 in handle and 57 + in bridge) in golden covers, I have finally received (230 euros a pair anyway!) And had them up by my luthier who also remade the connections (about 130 euros per transaction)
And since it's only happiness I will ever be that choice without hesitation! Definition of his perfect, precise, warm bass to fall, sounding treble-haired, huge sustain and full of harmonics, in short, the beginner (2 years of guitar) that I had no trouble to recognize that I spent in the top of the top ... Only the total pleasure to play on my guitar now, and the violin for those old Ibanez is excellent, I now have the equivalent of a Gibson Les Paul more than 1500 euros. Do not hesitate on these pickups, even if you are a bit expensive, you will not regret it!
I put 9 out of 10 not for performance but for the difficulty in obtaining pickups gibson golden in this world and for the price, a bit expensive ...
