Hi,

i have found a Renaissance build in 05/2007 and i have buy it.
So, the seller certified me, its an original 2007, made craved maple and all original.
So, totay i take a look of the humbuckers. Normaly thes should be from Epiphone, the classic 57. And i wonder!!! The hummies are no name humbuckers and the cable to the humbuckers where mount by a plug!!!

Is it right? Can any one look into his Renaiccance?? Maybe you must remove the pickguard......

Please, please help me!!!

Your pickup looks like a stock Epiphone manufactured by Hotch.

I can't say since they're stock.
Cheap doesn't always means bad.
A friend of mine has an Epi Casino and the stock P90's sound really fine !!

Probably. But who cares who made the pickups or how much they cost. It's how they sound that counts.

I have a Samick HJ650 that I replaced the stock neck pickup with a Gibson '57 Classic. The Gibson pickup does sound better and different. But - it turns out that the original Samick pickup was fairly decent on it's own. Just because a pickup is stock, and from Asia, doesn't automatically mean that it's no good. Your ears should decide whether a pickup is OK or not. Not some label on the back of the pick-up.

100% agreed with the above.

There are many low cost pickups that sound extremely good to me. Likewise there are many high cost pickups that sound perfectly fine, but not unusually good in my opinion.
