Plus Top Dan Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Right then, having had my 339 for three months or so now and having said that I see no need to mod anything on it I am now getting the twitch in the back of my head that tells me I may want to swap the pickups!!! Obviously I would want four conductor wiring so I can split the coils as per the current Epi spec. What pickups can people reccomend to me bearing in mind the pups would need 4 conductor wiring? (it seems alot of the Gibson pups only have 2 conductor wiring?) I don't want anything too hot, I'm looking for classic rock and blues sounds and pups that will also sound good when split. Thanks in advance, looking forward to hearing suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Top Dan Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Interesting, I wasn't aware that Gibson sold aftermarket 4 wire 57s? Bet they're nearly impossible to get hold of in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a real good bright sound in the humbucker setting but I'm little disappointed with the single coils. The single coil and the rail don't sound all that bad but there's just too volume drop. Also I expected a P-90ish but it just wasn't like that. Overall I'm happy playing this guitar in the HB setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
