http://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/57-08s-in-a-les-paul.18583/That was some great sound, but it sure didn't look like a PRS there. I might have to see about scoring some 57/08's!
You certainly did make them sing. Great stuff, and I dig the Bowie canvas " I have the same one "
Way to go bro. !!!
Do you prefer 85/15 or 57/08?
85/15s weren't released (AFAIK) until 2015 with the 30th Anniversary Custom 24s. A 2013 P22 would have had uncovered 57/08 pickups. Before that, they had 53/10s in them.The 57/08s by far. I think my P22 has the 85/15's. I never was able to figure it out. It's a 2013 model. But the one thing I dont like about that guitar is it can be nasally....midrange...and the balance between the pickups is off in some way to me. It's not the height though. Someone gave me those 57/08's and I wanted to check them out before I got into opening up the P22. But I love them. Not too hot....notes are very distinct and they have great response to pick attack.
Thanks for the comments. i always appreciate them from other guitar players.

I would say yes. You could take one set of pickups out of one P22 and put them in another P22 and I'd bet you could pick up some small differences. Two completely different models of guitar? You'll definitely hear a difference.Would they sound that different in the P22 than in the Les Paul? My p22 is very nasal sounding.
I had a 2013 P22 and it did have the 57/08's in it... So your P22 either already has them in it, or the 53/10's. I surely hope it's the 53/10's, or else that means that the guitar you're playing in the video just sounds that much better than your P22!
I think you should try other similar pickups in that great sounding epiphone to see if it's really the 57/08s that makes it sounding that good or if it is the guitar itself that has a great character.The epiphone definitely projects better
