If I swapped out the alnico II magnet out of the Gibson Super 57( four conductor version of the Gibson 57 classic plus) to a Alnico V magnet would it sound like a Duncan 59(bridge)

I don’t think so.

You probably can sell it, buy the SD one and have some money left though.

How would it be that much different by swapping the magnet to an alnico 5 to sound like a Duncan 59
 
Re: Gibson Super 57 Magnet Swap

The sound of a pickup is a lot more than the magnet.
