The 1960s neck profile found on this SG is the more modern, slim-tapered neck most commonly associated with the LP and SG models of the early 1960s. The neck is machined in the manufacturer's rough mill using wood shapers to make the initial cuts. But once the fingerboard gets glued on, the rest, including the final sandin, is done by hand. That means there are no two necks with the exact same dimensions.
So while it still has the basic characteristics of its respective profile, each neck will be slightly different, with a distinct but traditional feel.
Among the qualities that make these humbucking pickups so unique are the subtle variations between coil windings. For the first few years of their production, from 1955 to 1961, the humbuckers were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with slightly different output and tone, desirable to players who wanted to mix and match and explore a complete spectrum of tonal possibilities.
The 1957 pickups are the result of the manufacturer's drive to capture and recreate this renowned characteristic. Introduced in 1992, the 1957 pickup provides warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that crunch. These are made to the exact same specs as the originals, including nickle magnets, nickel pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and vintage-style, two-conductor braided wiring.
Instead of enamel-coated wiring, the manufacturer added poly-coated wiring, which improves consistency by eliminating thin or thick spots on the wire, and wax potting, which removes all internal air space and any chance of microphonic feedback.
