Hi All,

Not a Fender amp question: I am planning on ordering (hopefully tonight) a Gibson 57 Classic humbucker and a 57 Classic Plus to upgrade my Broadway. Most of the usual online retailers sell these for $159 and $169 respectively. AmplifiedParts.com has them for $107 and $120. I am just nervous that these are knock offs and not genuine Gibson. On some of the listings for Gibson pickups, they list is identified as "Gibson®" and for this those pup's the prices seem closer to everyone else. The ® is missing after the 57 Classic and Classic Plus and the verbiage just sounds like they are intentionally vague.

Anyone have experience with this site?

Thanks!

I ordered some cabinet hardware from them some years back that was explicitly advertised as "genuine Fender".

It was not and I sent it back. They tried to nick me for the S&H until I threatened to leave ten megatons of thermo-nuclear feedback for them. They blinked.

Never again!

I thought so. Just a little too slippery description.

Ordering from GC.

Thanks!

I've ordered an Mod Kits DIY amp kit and a couple of pedal kits from them with no problems, but never anything else.

I buy most of my amp specific consumables (resistors, pots, caps, etc.) from them. Great selection, good prices, fast service. I seriously doubt they would sell counterfit parts given the probable repercussions in today's society.

I agree Bill. They've been around for quite a while.

Amplified parts > Antique Electronic Supply > CE Distribution, same company as far as I can tell. I have used AES and then CED for years. They have great customer service, great parts, and when I get the occasional noisy preamp tube, they exchange it hassle-free. Once, one of a pair of tubes was damaged during shipping, they sent me a new set right away. I started buying from them largely because of their competitive pricing, I keep buying because of the customer service.

I have no experience with the pickups you mentioned, but I have ordered guitar electronics, tubes and parts from them and have been really happy with their selection, quality, price and shipping. Been a good experience all around. I have purchased directly from their website and from their Amazon store (using a gift certificate from my kids).
