Are these genuine 57 Classic?

[lifirth]

Hi,

Does anyone know if these are genuine 57 Classics? Only two images - They say they were pulled from an Epiphone.

Thanks

Looks fake to me. These are the 57s I used to have on my old Epiphone:

Thanks!

Found these on Reverb that look very similar to the ones in question: https://reverb.com/uk/item/61950659-gibson-57-classic-pickups-chrome-two-different-ones-wound-by-ps

They seem to have the right type of stickers.
The black wire implies 4 conductor wiring.
The 2 conductor type has the braided wire.
I've always seen the black sticker in the middle of the pup though.
Have you measured them?
8 to 9K is usually Classic 57 +.
Classic 57's are high 7.

Looks fake to me... Extra holes on the baseplate and stickers look removed, stuck on these ones again and wrong placed.

Here's a '57 2-wire on top, and a Seth Lover on the bottom in my '60s Classic.

NOT ‘57 Classics.

The legs look different too. Real ones are squared and yours are rounded.

Fake.

As mentioned above, the real ones don't have the extra holes on the baseplate or the rounded legs.

The 4 conductor versions have grey insulator not black.

These are all 57 Classics from different years. The top right is a Classic Plus.

The older ones in the middle never had the white sticker from the factory.
