I have a new ES-335 style kit on order. I suspect that after I get it together and try out the “medium” quality pickups that come in the kit, I will be looking for an upgrade. My question is which humbucker set to get for it? Should I go with the 1957’s or with the 1959/60’s? I like to noodle around with a little of everything. That is blues, rock, classical, folk, ragtime, Christmas carols, and western. I don’t and won’t play in a band due to my lack of talent. But, I do appreciate nice tones even when they are muffed and out of time!
Sorry I missed this question!! Soooo …
Absolutely I’d go with the Historic 1957 set … pure magic in those semi-hollow designs.
Thanks, Vaughn.
And, if I ever pull the trigger on upgrading the GS, the Zebras are at the top of my list.
We can do the Historic 57’s in Zebra … just be sure to put that request in the “notes” field with the order ![]()
