Hi it's Nick,
Thanks all of you for your helpful and speedy replies.I plan to flip the neck 59 tomorrow night as the 335 is ready for it's twice monthly re-string.
How do the '59's compare ?.Well,more sting and zing from the plain strings and more depth from the wound strings.All in all a very pleasing set-up.
My previous guitars over the 30 years that i have been playing (started at 14...yes i'm old) were handful of ageing strats and my playing style is a mixture of early Blackmore and Rory Gallagher.So the move to 335 was bold (i know Blackmore played a 335 which helped the decision).I now play in the style of early clapton in cream....Live Cream Volume II...is a perfect example of the genius at work.I recommend this work to anyone wanting to play fluid bluesy runs.."Steppin' out" is quite literally a 13 minute blues guitar lesson.
My amp is a 1978 year Marshall 50 combo all valve and it sounds bloomin' great,especially with '59's and 335.I also use a Pandora at home (keeps my wife and family from protesting) and have arrived at some pretty good late 60's gibson/marshall sounds.
So,would i recommend SD '59's.Yes i would.I'm very pleased i changed to them.
Anyway, thanks again for your help and advice.
