What players and reviewers say
On the Gibson 57 Classic
“Sound nothing like the Gibson 57 Classic to me…..which I find boxy and blurry sounding. The Dimarzios are really open and clear.”
Comparing with DiMarzio PAF 57
“I can see why people say they can be muddy, but I like the fatness they bring to the sound.”
