Comparing Gibson 57 Classics vs. Hand-Wound P.A.F. Spec Humbuckers
Share
We take a look at a couple of Gibson Les Pauls and compare tones on the Gibson's 57 Classic pickups vs. my hand-wound FiftyNiners (Vintage Customs) with rough cast Alnico 2 and 4 magnets. Not super scientific, just a raw and quick comparison for fun.
We like to nickname our FiftyNiners the "P.Eh.F" - The true Canadian-made P.A.F. pickup hehe
They key takeaway here is that neither sets of pickups are better than the other, simply just different flavours of a similar style of pickup.
