I have an Oscar Schmidt OE30 and was considering changing the pickups. What do you guys think work the best in a 335 style guitar?

Re: Pickups for 335 style guitar
well, yes - of course, the seths would sound wonderful ..
but i am wondering if we need to check with him about the style he is going for ...
are you going for a traditional 335 tone? or do you have something else in mind?
let us know and we can focus are opinions to your application
cheers

Re: Pickups for 335 style guitar
I really need something versatile. I play a little bit of everything from 50's to today. I need a good clean as well as a decent overdriven tone. I have a Sunn T50C amp and a good pedalboard (Tonebone Classic and HB, VS H2O, Digitech Digidelay, Boss TU-2, Teese RMC-1).Comment

Re: Pickups for 335 style guitar
Seth lover neck, antiquity hot for bridge ... that would be my guess in keeping with the 335 personality from what I've read from Lews responses about those pups. I really push for the ANT Hot in the bridge, as the bridge can always use a bit more. Mind you just a suggestion, I haven't actually used them, but even so I think it sound advice, but double check with others.::::To sound reinforcement engineer::::

Re: Pickups for 335 style guitar
Yeah guys, the Seths are great, but for some reason, just not for this guitar (I did try them out, I've got the hookup at my local shop). I think the body, for some reason is basswood, inlcuding the body, and not just the center block, and the neck, who knows. This isnt your typical 335, for some reason it sounds completely different
This is just my .02 though.

Re: Pickups for 335 style guitar
I'm starting to think the entire guitar is basswood save for the fretboard. I've got it sitting right here infront of me, and it looks alot like basswood. This is also a bolt on neck guitar. The tone is completely different than a 335, but Seths might be good, I just know that I didnt liek 'em in my guitar.This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections. - St. Augustine of HippoComment

Re: Pickups for 335 style guitar
I had a set of Seth's in my Sheraton and they sounded great for any style of music. I did swap them out for a pair of Phat Cats to try something different and a love them too. I guess I need to get another semi so I can use my Seth's
Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby.Comment

Between Seth Lovers and Antiquities (both not wax potted), does one have an advantage over the other model, when installed in a 335 style guitar?Comment

Re: Pickups for 335 style guitar
Because the ants are degauzed they are a little warmer. But they cost a lot more and have the aged looking covers, so I prefer the Seths.
Seths are a 50's PAF if you went back in time and pulled a new one out of a new guitar.
Ants are a 50's PAF that's like it's 50 years old and pulled from an antique guitar.Comment
