Pickup identification - Les Paul Classic

[znanjeiimanje]

I recently acquired a 1995 Les Paul Classic with the intention of placing a pair of Seth Lovers inside. I already had the Seth Lovers laying around so it was no big deal, but the pickups sound so sweet that I doubt they are the original 490s that were supposed to come with this guitar and which generally sound too harsh for my taste.

Could anyone help me identify which pickups are these in the first place?

Could be '57 Classics. They came to market the year before.

yeah, id guess 57 classics too. most lp classics came with the 496r/500t stock, the color of the inlays is a good clue as to what was stock actually

Thanks a lot everyone.

May I ask you please how I can connect the inlay color with the pickup? Mine are slightly minty green but not too green as I've seen in photos.
