300 for a set of pickups is still pretty up there, but when the competition offers theirs at 360, that’s not bad at all. I don’t say this often, but hats off to Gibson.
As an Epi Lucille owner, I too have been wanting a USA varitone switch sold separately, from Gibson. Otherwise I'm sticking to using a Rothstein Platinum Lab one. Gibson could also release it as a pedal too!
I don't think outside the Gibson enthusiasts people appreciate Gibson pickups. Its great that Gibson is putting pickups out that aren't as expensive as the offerings of other brands, i really love the pickups Gibson make
I would love to see Greenys compared to Burstbucker 2 & 3. On paper they seem to have the same specs, of course neck pickup on Greeny has a reversed magnet. But same output, same magnet and both PAF style humbuckers 🤔
@@andrewbrookes2485 I wouldn’t be surprised if Greeny pickups are just re-named Burstbuckers - of course reversing the magnet but it doesn’t take anything to do that
i spent $50 cdn and got FLEOR alnico2 set measuring similar.. easy enough to flip a magnet if you wanted to.. pretty sure the set I have is SD FS clone and Pearly Gates set clone. ranging from 7.3-8.8k in the set to a 15.8k bridge optional. series parallel switching is easy.. add in the TBX tone pot from fender with the HPF mod and if your like me you buckethead style killswitch and move the switch to where the second tone pot normally is. my Epiphone Studio got the japanese rasp and files to the neck join and tru oil finished the neck leaving a stinger.. looks like the XR-1 oxblood tobacco burst with black hardware and brass features gold screws.. never getting a gibson
I would like to see them issue all of their four conductor pickups with the Gibson Quick Connect Option. It is like having a set of Golf Clubs. I have to make my own from after market four conductor quick connect systems off eBay. You can get a 490r easy with a Stock Factory Quick Connect attached but a 498t is a bit harder to come by. That is a Les Paul Custom set. I have a 57 Classic and 57 Classic Plus with Quick Connect but I would like another set for a different Les Paul. Its fun to change pickups and try new pickups. Someone please reach out to Gibson and remind them how many guitars they have out there with the Quick Connect System owned by guys like me who do not like to solder but who might like to try (buy) a different set of pickups. I might even want a second set of 57 Classic and 57 Classic Plus with those sweet chrome black covers. Changing covers also involves soldering and, again, it might be worth it to me to have (buy) a second set.
I posted this very sentiment at Gibson when they were doing their initial pickup shop promos on TH-cam. The feedback I got from them was that there wouldn't be enough people buying them or something. I disagree. I understand the Quick Connect was for Gibson's ease of installation but it sure does make for an easy pickup swap for those who buy those guitars. If they made their pickups with an option of Quick Connect, I feel like they would sell enough to pay for the retrofitting at the shop
One possible problem with an Epiphone Greeny is; how do they offer something substantially different to the regular 1959 model, without making it a $1500 guitar? I think that'll be a hard sell with a laurel board and a veneer top, especially as it'll likely need a fret dress straight out of the box.
And you don't even necessarily need to SOLDER anything. You can always just cut the existing wire and splice the new pickup wires to the original wiring that's already soldered to the pots! You just might need to also splice longer wires onto the original pickups if you want to install them in another guitar...
I never cut splice wiring its part of the resistance I always un solder them and put them back to factory spec you could do that but it's easy to do it correct. After all it's a gibson doit right
@@DougZbikowski yea but the amps were always known to have consistency issues. They did buy MesaBoogie tho so I don’t doubt they have plans to bring back some Gibson amps too.
I got a set of these and put them in a les paul they sound amazing the only thing is there is not the information about if the neck is wound with formvar wire like the original and other manufacturers do with the greenys it sounds thick and syrup like but really clear not muddy so im guessing so but why no info on this spec
Though I am not a fan of unpotted pickups, I can see instances where they would be beneficial in a studio setting. $300 for a set of those pickups is very reasonable.
Not sure if we even needed Gibson to sell the Greenie pickups, since Duncan makes the Green Magic for less and Bare Knuckle makes the PG Blues for the same sort of price and Gary Moore used them in his last days
The Kramer eruption description makes me think it’s a clone of the peavey Wolfgang bridge pickup considering Jim decola helped designthe peavey Wolfgang and it’s pickup
I’ve been looking for chrome dog ear P-90 covers to replace the black ones on my custom shop 330 for ages. I could buy Casino ones but I’m worried that the arch difference (due to the 330 joining at the 20th rather 15th fret) might mean neck cover wouldn’t fit. Any thoughts?
For context, a set of original '59 PAFs with harness,pots and caps etc., on Reverb for $16,000!! What are they? Alnico 2 unpotted, 7.2 - 8k. That is the Greenybucker spec., so fraction of the cost. I think Kirk brought it in, and they took them out - probably not unwind them, but 3D imaging. Still no '59 Tribute, darn!! ;(
My Classic Plus 2017 is equipped with 59 Tribute Zebra, but I don't know if it looks potted or unpotted. They are a little brighter because they don't have a cover.
This was a smart idea for Gibson and at $299 for the pair is more than reasonable for the Greenybuckers. They are even unpotted being it 50s spec. If you are not into that you can get them wax potted, not a big deal. I think the USA version at $3199 would be okay if it were more of a Greeny spec, it isn't. Now that you can get the PUPS you can put them into anything that you want. The more options the better, win win I would say. For those who say the are expensive? not for what they are, Boutique PUP makers charge more than that.
Gibson makes some great pickups, love seeing more out there. I have a 2013 les paul studio (beginning of the bad years for gibson, mine has glue marks on the neck etc) and the bridge pickup and pot for it is scratchy and doesnt sound so good lol. Dirty fingers however, sound awesome, i have played some of their nicer pickups (expensive ones) and dear lord do they sound great.
The Marty signature Epiphone 335 is nice! I’m partial to cherry-red ES-335s anyway, and the figured maple is just a bonus. And coil splits? Stop tail? Shut up and take my money! (if I had any…)
You'd think if they're offering the pickups that they might offer the capacitors also . . I'm now thinking if buying a set of these for one of the two kits I have. Maybe they can install those new Dirty Fingers pickups in the Blackbird model I suggested yesterday.
Dirty fingers has me intrigued...I have a circa 2010 Gibson Dirty Fingers PUP that I put in my Gibson SG and love it. Reasonably good coil split and my kind of bright output. Might put a new one in my new Epi Les Paul. Does anyone know if they make a conversion kit that that'll solder into a Epi quick connect harness? For some reason, I sort of feel bad splicing up the stock harness. Or I suppose, I could just get a new push pull pot too. How long till we get a review?😛
I think Darrell Braun was the first TH-camr to recieve a signature guitar. Paoletti Guitars did it for him about 18 months ago. Rick got his earlier this year. Marty would be the 3rd.
I wish they'd release the alnico v staple pickup and the ripper bass pickup. Two pickups that have their own tone and are hard to come by at a reasonable price.
Austin here’s a scoop for you: Warren Haynes announced on Dipped in Tone Podcast 3 weeks ago that Gibson will be issuing a signature amp for him… by the end of this year if memory serves. So there s absolutely no doubt they re bringing back an amp line soon enough
Just ordered a dirty fingers sm to put in my epi wino Jerry Cantrell that I currently have a SD invader in that is too bass heavy in tone. So far the Gibson pickups overall have sounded better in all my Les Paul’s and 335.
The Kramer Eruption is designed by Jim DeCola the guy that designed the Peavey Wolfgang pickups as well as many other lesser known killer pickups (Falcon, Cropper, etc).
Jim DeCola also designed Gibson's recent dual blade mini humbuckers (2012 and up), that aren't Firebird pickups (no reflector plate and non magnetized blades). I've got Al5 and Ceramic versions and they are great, though they're not really well liked online by traditionalists. Like to see them in the Gibson store.
I wish Gibson would bring back their amps. Ga-4 etc. The Goldtone series was nice too regret not buying one. Even the Lab series solidstate. Good enough for BB good enough for me
Hey Austin, I remember when you compared/tested the custom shop to the standard, you weren’t sure if the pickups were the same, once it didn’t sound as expected, not bad but different… Now Gibson released the pickups…how sure can we be that those are the same pickups you can find on the custom shop? Thanks and great videos!
Thank you for clarifying it. I have a CS R9 from 2019, it came with Custom Alnico III Burstbuckers. It would be nice to see some pickup comparisons to see how worth it would be to replace it. Thanks again!
I bought a set of greenybuckers and just installed them in one of my Les Paul’s and holy crap they sound amazing . I usually hate Gibson pickups as I find them dull sounding .
If they brought back Gibson amps with some Mesa mojo under the hood to get better sounds and reliability it might be nice. I've never heard anything good about Gibson amps so I'm sure any model that comes out will be "improved" and not made completely like the original was.
Kind of bummed they did not include the Tradbuckers. That is one of my favorite sounding Gibson pickups of all time, but the only way you can get them is to buy a Traditional Pro Les Paul.
@@WinstonWhite-l9jYes. There are plenty of people in the music business who been around that long and have been as successful or more successful… Rick has quickly become a beloved personality… With 3 1/2 million subscribers or whatever… So there’s an opportunity there for people to get a little bit of the white wolf man’s mojo. I guess.
I have to think this massive drop of aftermarket pickups is a direct result of Gibson hiring Jared Brandon (the founder of Brandonwound pickups) a few years back.
The original DiMarzio trademark was double cream bobbins *with hex screw pole pieces*. They've pushed that to double cream bobbins and whatever pole pieces over time and nobody's fought it, because boutique pickup companies don't typically have deep enough pockets to afford a trademark lawsuit.
i hope that the decal on that 335 is above the finish, nice guitar at a good price but could do without any association, i dont want to own someone else guitar, i want to own my own guitar
Dopey, but distinctive. As its oh, and design… It’s not that bad. It’s just that everyone is jonesing in for that Gibson open-book look. One thing I might say about the Epiphone headstock or some versions of it is that sometimes it just seems to be a little bit too long
The Kramer Pickups intrest me as there made by Gibson pick up shop so USA made and branded Kramer USA & as we all know Gibson sells the pickups they use in there guitars so i have a feeling where going to see some USA Kramers soon like we saw leaked eariler & most likly using these Kramer pickups.

@@AsillyhoboThe Rothstein is way nicer than the Gibson circuit anyways.
@@justinvzu01 that's good to know! There isn't enough info about them.

They really need to bring back the Tony Iommi humbucker pickups back

Gibson makes great pickups. There are companies out there that make bank by offering repros.
There was talk that the reason Gibson bought Boogie was to reissue their vintage amps.
I saw these - reasonably priced too which was the most impressive part, relative to the rest of their line
I picked up a Les Paul modern yesterday. It’s pretty cool so far. I don’t like the knobs so I am going to change them but it plays great.
Les Paul amps started in 1952, also known as the GA-40. Specs changed throughout the 50s and 60s.
I would love to see Greenys compared to Burstbucker 2 & 3. On paper they seem to have the same specs, of course neck pickup on Greeny has a reversed magnet. But same output, same magnet and both PAF style humbuckers 🤔

Arnt. Burstbuckers potted? I thought the greens are unpotted.

never getting a gibson
The kramer eruption pickup interests me because it seems to be a recreation of eddie van halens pickups he used in his kramers in the 80s.
also i was just thinking would Gibson be able to reissue the Lab Series amps or were they owned by moog?
the Gibson Greenies are $60 cheaper than the Duncans . getting pair for sure.

Gibson pickup shop makes sense. They’ve always made pickups and if they have their own facility to make more than they need why not sell them too 👌
I feel like that with amps too. They used to make amps…why aren’t they doing matched guitar/amp sets? Hell, they should buy Marshal 😅

And I think Rob Scallon had one years ago
You should wire a couple guitars with alligator clips to easily swap pickups, and do a shoot out. Humbuckers and p90's would be great.
I wish they'd release the alnico v staple pickup and the ripper bass pickup. Two pickups that have their own tone and are hard to come by at a reasonable price.

Hey Austin, I remember when you compared/tested the custom shop to the standard, you weren’t sure if the pickups were the same, once it didn’t sound as expected, not bad but different…
Now Gibson released the pickups…how sure can we be that those are the same pickups you can find on the custom shop?
Thanks and great videos!
The conclusion in that video was the wiring and caps were vastly different
Thank you for clarifying it.
I have a CS R9 from 2019, it came with Custom Alnico III Burstbuckers.

You could install into other brand guitars too

The Marty also has locking tuners! Pretty sweet! 😊
Hey Austin, do you know if Gibson will release the Custom Burstbucker Alnico 2 Slash Pickups?
That silver junior's nice. Good to see silver silver rather than green or beige silver.
So you should get your hands on one of the joe bonamassa fender custom shop 48 dual professional amps
Trogly DIDNT miss on this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Put em on an Epiphone and you´re good to go
Kind of bummed they did not include the Tradbuckers. That is one of my favorite sounding Gibson pickups of all time, but the only way you can get them is to buy a Traditional Pro Les Paul.
Wow, so much info to digest
Tomo needs a signature next!
Who?
Tomo Fujita
I can definitely see it!
I bought the greenybuckers and put them in my sg and it’s the sound I’ve been looking for I highly recommend them

YAYYYYY! Still cheaper than other brands! Good job Gibson! 🤘
that means that if you buy a Greeny you end up with a LesPaul that has a 300$ set of pick ups in it ?
where does the other 49700$ go ?
Evening Troglodytes!!!
It’s weird that we live in world where €300 pickups seem like good value 🤣
When you think the parts can be bought for like €20 🤷♂️
there are lots of independents winding greenie pickups by hand around the world
No thing like P-90S
I have to think this massive drop of aftermarket pickups is a direct result of Gibson hiring Jared Brandon (the founder of Brandonwound pickups) a few years back.
I would love to see the MHS become available.
I don’t see that happening unless they clear out old inventory they find or bring them back under new branding
I feel that there would be enough demand to warrant an attempt. I'm crossing my fingers. Thanks for the feedback!
They’re offering a “double white” humbucker now that’s actually double cream, despite the DiMarzio trademark.
It still boggles my mind that a company went and trademarked a pickup color and everybody still has to adhere to it.
@@TylerJohnstonGuitar I know right. I could understand trademarked a custom winding, but the color???? Ridiculousness.
The original DiMarzio trademark was double cream bobbins *with hex screw pole pieces*. They've pushed that to double cream bobbins and whatever pole pieces over time and nobody's fought it, because boutique pickup companies don't typically have deep enough pockets to afford a trademark lawsuit.
Alnico II might as well get the 57 Classic instead
I just changed mine to Seymour Duncan and now this
Kurt Ballou from Converge/God City Studios used to use a Gibson Titan pretty frequently
So did Keith Richards I think
Gotta do a demo of the MS ES-335!!!
I really want to get an Epiphone Firebird and put Gibson Firebird pickups in it.
I wonder how these would sound in a SG?
I hope Gibson does bring back a couple of their amps. They had few really awesome amps.
Z is for 18 hours late. Bring back some classic amps
i hope that the decal on that 335 is above the finish, nice guitar at a good price but could do without any association, i dont want to own someone else guitar, i want to own my own guitar
I know Im in the minority most likely but I like the old Epiphone headstock.

Hello there
Will these be a limited run by gibson or are they gona make them all the time ?
A lot of Gibson news great researching Trogly.
You thought they would be more than $300 while you’re taking apart your $50,000 guitar. I’ve had enough of this.
