I still have a gold Gibson 57 Classic for bridge I need to get rid of. It doesn't have original packaging but does have springs and screws. These are great pickups, just not the modern sound I'm looking for. Here's some standard spaced bridge pickups I'm interested in trading for;
Duncan Distortion, Custom, Full Shred, Screamin Demon, Invader
Dimarzio Super Distortion or X2N

I might be interested in other high output humbuckers let me know what you have. Also I'm in the market for a Mexican telecaster or a good quality tele copy thats relatively cheap. If you want to buy the pickup outright send a PM with an offer. US only please. Thanks for your time bros.


Edit: Pics added a few posts down.

Edit: Put up on eBay

Pics?
How much lead is left?
Is this the Plus model?
Can you measure the DC resistance? (just curious)
Would you be interested in a F-Spaced Super Distortion (double-black)?

Sorry for all the questions. :)
 
Re: FT/S: Gold Gibson 57 Classic

I might be interested as well, Erik has first dibs of course. Curious about the dc resistance also.
 
Re: FT/S: Gold Gibson 57 Classic

Cell phone pics, not that great.
I'd say it has about 5 inches of lead on it. I don't believe it's the plus model, but I can't be certain. I can't measure the resistance but I have a friend who might be able to I'll get back to you two on that.
A double black super distortion would be excellent, if only it were regular spaced :2:

It looks to be in very nice condition. If you are looking for a higher output pickup for your Epi LP, a F-Spaced pickup will work just fine. I used to have the Super Distortion in a 2004 Epi LP Std and the poles lined up perfectly. This one has about the same length of lead and I did keep what I snipped off so that comes with it in case the leads need to be extended plus it includes the screws and springs and the allen wrench to adjust the poles if necessary.

Push to Shuv, it's all yours if you want it. I just acquired another one so I'm good to go.
 
Re: FT/S: Gold Gibson 57 Classic

Still curious about the DC resistance. I might be willing to trade my Custom for it, but im still debating it.
 
Re: FT/S: Gold Gibson 57 Classic

Still available, going to see today if I can get the DC resistance checked. I would absolutely love a Custom though.
 
Re: FT/S: Gold Gibson 57 Classic

Can't check the DC resistance sorry Push. Pickup is still available, will sell for $55 shipped. Thanks for looking.
