Brand new, open for pictures only.
I placed a set in a Gibson Les Paul USA I refinished and relic'd for a customer, and the two guitars sound basically identical.
In the YouTube video, go to the ~23:00 minute mark.
The exact same pickups that are used in the $20,000 and $50,000 Greeny guitars that Kirk Hammett plays, made by Gibson. Notice the exact same wear pattern on the bridge pickup as an actual Gibson Greeny Replica. These were limited to 100 sets and have sold out. These pickups sound incredible and will turn your Les Paul or humbucker guitar into something truly amazing-sounding. I have owned three Greeny's, and every one was the best-sounding Les Paul I have personally played, and one of the top 1, 2, or 3 guitar sounds I have ever heard/played.
I put a set of these in my regular custom shop Les Paul, and it sounds almost exactly like my Greeny!!
The Gibson Patent Applied For humbucker™ pickups from the 1950s are considered by many musicians to be the “holy grail” of vintage electric guitar pickups. Among them, the pickups that were installed in the legendary “Greeny” Les Paul™ are some of the most famous. The new Aged Greenybucker set is instantly recognizable from a sonic perspective; their distinctive sound is partially from the out-of-phase middle switch position due to the neck pickup’s reverse magnetic polarity. The Aged Greenybucker pickup set was developed with input from Greeny’s current owner, Kirk Hammett, and with specifications taken from the actual Patent Applied For humbucker pickups on that world-renowned guitar, including asymmetrical coil windings and unpolished Alnico 2 magnets, and cosmetically aged to perfection, giving them the look of vintage originals. Limited to 100 sets worldwide, these pickups are sure to sell out quickly, so act fast while they’re still available!
