    Epiphone 57 Classic pickup project

    I got one of those Epi 57 Classic Lee Paul pickups dirt cheap on Craiglist. I didn’t like the cheezy cover so I took it off. Let’s take a peek underneath....

    Apparently, Epiphone makes their pickups in a candle factory!

    While I was in there cleaning up the mess, I decided to swap out the magnet for an A4 and replace the cheap baseplate with a nice Nickel Silver one...

    She cleaned up pretty nice. Has a really cool black/charcoal zebra thing going on...

    They seem a little too concerned about microphonics. :P

      The really sad thing is that, once I peeled back the wax-covered coil tape, there was hardly any wax on the actual coils!
