Pat in the hat Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 It looks like the new pup specs for 2018 335s is the MHS with orange drop capacitors. Has anybody done an A/B comparison with this new spec versus prior Burstbuckers in a 335? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnappi Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I can't give you an A-B in a 335 but in the guitars I have and have had with MHS (two LP-ES) and BB's (a 2017 ES-335 and a Midtown custom) I can say I like the MHS better. Now BB's in a 335 vs. the 57's? These I do have both in 335's and It's not even close, the 57's win hands down. I wish they had never changed from the 57's which I like the best of the bunch in my 2000 335 :-) Funny there are players who like the BB's a lot, and some not so much the 57's but so far I haven't heard any negative comments on the MHS.

Wild Bill 212 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 It looks like the new pup specs for 2018 335s is the MHS with orange drop capacitors. Has anybody done an A/B comparison with this new spec versus prior Burstbuckers in a 335? Haven't done the comparison but out of the P-Up's I have had in GIBSON Guitars over the decades, the 2018 MHS Pick-Up's in my ES-335 are my favorite by a wide margin. Only other P-Up I liked even remotely close to them were the coverless 'Dirty Fingers' I had in a 1979 'SG'....'Dirty Fingers' were much BRIGHTER sounding and were a FIT on that Guitar. The TONAL WIDTH or wide variations of TONES I can get out of this ES-335 is INCREDIBLE the MHS Pick-Up's are soo flexible, I LOVE this new ES-335, I just got it.The BB's & '57 Classics I have had as well as 490 R & T's are all GREAT Pick-Up's IMO, but compared to these MHS, they just do not stack up to the MHS in this new ES-335 .....it might be interesting to hear how these other P-Up's sound in this particular Guitar as well...... In order of Pref? MHS, Dirty Fingers (only on a Bridge of a Solid Body),'57 Classics, BB Pro's, 490's........and I am not dissing any of them, they are all OUTSTANDING, the 490's in my li'l 'SG' Special HOWL...and are a perfect fit for that Guitar.
