Huge tone differances between ES 335 and ES 355?

Hey everybody :)

 

I was wondering whether all you ES fanatics could clarify a query for me?

 

I've just bought a really nice ES 335 historic reissue (Nashville made). I'm also lucky enough to have a 2007 ES 355 with bigsby (Memphis made).

 

Last night i A/B compared these two guitars and the 355 seems to have WAY more powerful pickups in it. It was allot louder and aggressive sounding.

 

The 335 seemed to have a lower output and more of an even vintage type tone.

 

I thought that both these guitars came with 57 classic humbucking pickups? Am i wrong and why would these two guitars with really similar build specs have a sound so radically differant?

 

Thanks everybody and o look forward to some replies.

 

Cheers!

 

Richard
