So, Gibson opens up the Gibson Pickup Shop and begins to offer matched pickup sets and pickups that have historically been linked to some of the most iconic sounds of the past and present. So how much does that mean to someone chasing a certain sound? Can you take a Gibson USA lineup guitar with same basic construction and setup that's about 11 years old and create the same sound as you get with a newer Custom Shop guitar? We're gonna find out today, because the Traditional and Custom both have '57 Classics in them and have very similar outputs (7.68R/7.88T for the Traditional and 7.80R/7.80T for the Custom) from the pickups. Does the more expensive appointments mean more better? Take a listen and then talk about what you hear in the comments. Like and Subscribe if you want more content like this in the future. Enjoy!
