lowlandr Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I just got a 1961 335 and the pickups were replaced. Would restoring pickups to vintage PAFs bring the value up enough to be worthwhile? The guitar is in great shape other than the pickup mod.

Cam in alberta Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 The addition of proper PAF's would cost about the same as the value of the guitar would increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking to upgrade the sound, some of the boutique PUs (Throbaks, OX4, SD Antiquities, etc.) are actually truer to the "holy grail" sound that PAFs are legendary for, than some actual legit PAFs! There was a lot of variation in the manufacturing specs in those days and consistency is rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
