This perfect example how demo should look like!. Beautiful sounding. My faith in Epiphone is getting restored. Fantastic colour of the guitar. Thank you 👍
My Epi Les Paul Traditional Pro IV (Guitar Center exclusive... BUY ONE, they're great!) comes stock with these pickups in it. I'm really impressed and this is coming from a guy who almost always replaces pickups. The Alnico Classic Pros are staying in this guitar for the forseeable future. They're really great pickups. Epiphone has SERIOUSLY upped their game in quality since the new management took over!
They are meticulous recreations of Gibson's '57 Classic PAF 50's humbuckers with Sand cast Alnico V magnets basically late 60's T-top reproductions, highest quality Elektrisola magnet wire 42 awg polywire same as the original T-top. Available Nickel Silver unit basses and covers Vintage correct alloys of metal for the pole shoe, screws, and slugs.
@GuajoloteGonzales From what I can gathered online. Gibson randomly used magnets 2, 3, 4, 5 in PAFs till 1961 by 1965 alnico V was standard for all Gibson pickups. Alnico II were sometime substitute as well
Man that first lick in the lead gain test on the neck has Billy Gibbons tone all the way. Awesome. I'm getting this same guitar in cherry red tomorrow !!
Man, 5:17 = that is great tone and clarity for live Rock in 60's, 70's, 80's right there - balanced with treble bite. Very, very nice. They really did a great job on these pickups. Classic Rock 5:54 sounds like 1 million dollars! Great playing and great tone.

@Albert Calvin thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I love these pickups. They came in my Epiphone ES-339 and are hands down the best humbuckers I've had. They do everything I need them to do - 60s Blues Rock, 70s Classic Rock, early Heavy Metal, Jazz, and lead soloing. I bet if you did a magnet trick on one pickup, they'd get that Peter Green out of phase sound in the middle. The neck pickup comes very close to getting his tone.
@@Nokiathrower flip either the neck or bridge pickups magnet over (after partially disassembling the pickup) to make the middle position sound out of phase.
Hey Joey? NO COMMENTARY NEEDED!!!! YOU PLAY VERY WELL AND YOUR PLAYING DID ALL THE TALKING THAT WAS NECESSARY FOR YOU!! ( AND SOME! ) I hope you are making your own music!
I picked up a glary very nice body very nice neck little bit of work on the frets. I'm installing a set of these and replacing everything else on the guitar basically and I think when I'm done I'll have a very nice instrument I have done some other projects in the past so I'm not a complete rookie but I'm definitely not a luthier. Looking forward to getting everything else completed so I can hear what it sounds like. I do have an epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro with probuckers and I hope these come at least close to those because it is sweet. I am basically a Stratocaster guy but I am getting used to the humbucker vibe. Wish me well and God bless
Buenas, para mí las pastillas epiphone alnico classic pro, son un poco embarradas. Me gustan más las epiphone probucker, o las Tonerider alnico II, y bueno las Gibson 490t y 490r, son geniales.
About to get my 2020 Epi LP Studio and this is just the vid I needed.. I was wondering if I'd be missing anything not spending the extra and going with the custom (Probucker 2 and 3).. after this I don't think I'd be missing anything at all.
Yea not sure how the ProBuckers are, I haven't tried them yet I don't think. But, I gotta say, very impressed with the AC Pros... especially in that middle position.
The ProBuckers are virtually identical to the Burstbuckers, the Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates and the PRS 58/15. I prefer the ProBuckers over the Alnico Classic PROs in almost every guitar, except for maybe an especially dark-sounding semi-hollow.
I have these in a 2022 Epi Lucille and they're awful. When I play a root 6 or root 5 power chord they distort very easily. In fact it sounds like the speaker is broken on a completely clean amp. The bass output is ridiculous. In comparison an Epiphone with Probucker 1 and 2s on the same amp with the same settings doesnt break up. I wacked the the Probuckers in the Lucille and it's way better. I wonder if the Alnico Classic pros in my Lucille were faulty? I doubt it.
I had the same problem, Have you tried to roll down volume knob on the guitar and set amp volume a bit higher? If you play with volume knob near 8-10 on the guitar, it goes distortion easily

Late 60's T-Tops had Alnico II Magnets instead of V, the mid 70's T-Tops had Alnico V.
I believe you but my roommate owns a lea paul boasting those pickups i and i have them on my sg. Totally different sound and tone.

A great, useful Demo! Very consistent playing. This is how to do it perfectly.
thanks!
I've got the epiphone es 335 you've saved me a lot of time fiddling, thanks

Thanks RH! That 5:54 section was giving me some 38 Special vibes this time

Hi there...........Are they better than the .......ProBucker-2 Humbucker and ProBucker-3 Humbucker
........Thanks.
Magnet trick?

Got these pickups in a BB King Lucille. With the Varitone switch, it's a very versatile guitar.
Just picked up a 339 in Cherry , That Drab Green tho 👀 ..Nice sounding demo
Great playing as always! 👍🏼🔥
Thanks Bryan! Always great to have your support bud
Bravo!!! 👏👏👏 May you tell the pickups height? Thank you!

Amazing demo bro!! Just got a ebony worn epiphone with Alnico classics. Can’t wait to play it. What strings did you use bro? Thanks!!!
Thanks! Hmm can't remember if I changed these to my standard EB 10-46s or if these were just what came with the guitar originally.

i think that Probuckers are a bit more "mellow"... bluesy jazzy sound. While this Alnico Classic Pro are more rock sound, better in yelling style ^^
Single coil o humbucker?
I've been curious how these stack up vs Probucker with Alnico 2, definitely hear that Alnico 5! Apparently the windings are different too.
Yea not sure how the ProBuckers are, I haven't tried them yet I don't think. But, I gotta say, very impressed with the AC Pros... especially in that middle position.

What are the pickup heights here?
Crap this sounds identical to my epiphone SG400 with the same pickups
are this pickups active or passive dude?
passive
What are the chords in Rhythm Test Clean?
Looking forward to getting this sound! One question though, does it have good sustain?
I just just picked one up about a week ago and have been bragging to my dad how good the sustain is! Highly recommend 🤙🏼
