I don't like the C57 pickup at all and much prefer the Duncan 59 everytime!

i don't like the 57 at all. the 59 has a much better tone, more balance and full sounding. the 57 sounds nothing like what an actual 57 sounded like. if you want to get a sound similar to the original humbucker try a seth lover model.
