I like their vids. But they aren’t really reviews. And they don’t pretend to be. They’re demonstrations. A trip to Anderton’s is on the must see list next trip to England. Along with a couple shops in London.

Who knows for sure about the Gibson Tbird pickups. Until they stamp (not sticker) their name on the back I wouldn’t buy any from a non Gibson third party. Gibson better hurry up and brand their stuff like Eppi is doing or there’s gonna be so many fakes out there no one will be able to tell the difference.
Here’s some from the Nashville area that claim to be New Gibson Tbird pickups….
They are Epoxy potted in a metal cover. Not at all like what our Queen posted. I’m sure Veronica’s are legit. The one you posted before might be, but some fool removed any stickers off the back along with the foam spacers, so there’s no real way to know. And then there’s the one I posted above. At $400 each they might very well be legit… OR …a scammer that plans on making about $325 profit on every sale of his $45 Chinabucker epoxy potted into a $20 nickel or chrome cap. Yep, Gibson better get their branding act together quick before cheap fakes flood the market.
Interesting. This is a valuable post. I’m hoping I bookmarked it correctly.
You need a Jamison’s and a good single malt Scotch. May the Circle Be Unbroken.
The 50T has ultra high and ultra low switches and a 5 position mid range selector, in addition to the power.
Since they might be going in a VP some day, nickel is a good choice
not an ideal match imho.....not enough balls to get that cab breathing..
I believe that is a reputable shop in Nashville. Home of Gibson. I would call them were I considering it. It may be quite the find.
I only need one chrome pickup for the BaCH. I may do a Lollar. But I’m content for now with the very different Artec.Since they might be going in a VP some day, nickel is a good choice
Actually, the volume was there believe it or not, still i agree.
You'd have to get the PF50 into distortion to even come close to bringing that cab alive.
I just couldn't hang with the tone of that head.

FWIW those look exactly like what came out of my Orville. They were sold as "made in Japan with Gibson chrome covered pickups".
I need to try that. It might taste like lighter fluid. It might be great. But still….You're from KY and you have no Michter's.........
Whiskey
Tango
Foxtrot
Yep. Iconic. Bringing together artists of different generations and color. As it should be. Music is the key to our future.
I'm pushing it using the PF-50t with my Yorkville xc-808, genz benz 9.2 works better with the 8x8.
the pf-50t with 2 2x10's is quite nice I have the flip top and the AV.
May sell my 2 4x10's
Different strokes!
The one time I played it through an Ampeg 810, I was subbing with a rock band and the drummer told me to turn it down

I agree and they are pretty entertaining as only the British are.
Where are you? And what 410s do you have?
