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.”
On the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Joe Bonamassa Skinner Burst
“Pretty even across the mids, with the slightest bit of rounded nuance in the highs.”
