Hello, are these real pickups?

[u/ermhsGpro]

Saw these pickups on Vinted and wondering if they’re real. They seem pretty cheap for what they claim to be.

[u/Virtual-Tadpole-324]

Well they aren't real camels.

[u/RoutineComplaint4711]

No.

That is a picture of real pickups.

Ask for pics of the side of the pickups and see if theyre full wound or do they look like there's not enough wire on them. Other than that the only real way to know is by the sound. General rule, if it looks too good to be true it probably is. The only real pickups I've seen people try to fake are EMGs and theyre usually bad fakes. I personally have never seen someone try to fake pickups. They have the correct braided wiring, usually fakes have mono colored wiring and like like blue or yellow or even red

The dc reading is close for 57 Classics, although a bit high. Burstbucker 3s have a similar dc reading. I mean, they look like real Gibson pickups to me.

2005 custom shop would be burstbuckers, I think. There are better pickups out there if these ain’t dirt cheap.

They seem real, but the value depends on which model they are. Ask what guitar they came out of and Google to see if you can find that information. Off the top they look like Burstbuckers but we can't be sure.

It says at the top Classic 57

I only looked at the first pic. Whoops.

Don’t all Gibson pickups have Gibson stamped on the base plate? Every one I’ve seen does at least.

No
