BP74 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I posted this over in Vintage, but thought I'd try here too. Apologies if you've already come across this from me (and I'm sure it's a common question too): I have a '75 ES-335TD with a coil split. I bought the guitar used so I'm not 100% sure it was all original, but the PUPs installed (which appeared original) were pretty flat sounding. I play everything from straight ahead jazz to rock and was aiming for a sound that could approximate the round warmth of Grant Green in the neck position (though I know he played a fully hollow 330 with P90s) and something with more attack but not biting in the bridge. So I started by replacing the neck PUP with a SD Antiquity, which sounds great. Now I need to figure out what to pair the neck Antiquity with in the bridge, which is too flat and trebly to be of much use. I have a LPC for heavier rock and blues stuff, so if I had to choose one way or another for the 335, I'd lean toward a warm jazz tone overall with enough range between the PUPs to be able to also get some clean attack and even a little break up in my solos. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan H Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Have a talk with Wolfe at Wolfetone Pickups. Very honest guy, he can take your requirements and wind you a great bridge pickup. Won't break the bank either. Have his pickups in both of my electrics, can't recommend them enough. -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
