Hi All,
This is my first post here, nice place you guys got!
My friend lent me a mid 70's 335 and I love the way it sounds. I can't afford one so I bought a Epiphone Dot (335 knock off). It plays pretty well, and sounds good, but I like the sound of the 335 better.
I'm looking to replace the pups in the Epi with ones similar to the 335, but I don't know much about them...I haven't measured the impedance, but I know that's only part of the sound (output).
Now I understand these are two different guitars, and I am not going to get the same exact sound. Acoustically, they sound pretty different, and this difference carries through to the amp (335 is brighter, more detailed). I play through an Aiken Invader (sounds like a '72 Marshall), mostly rock and blues.
If anyone has any ideas on a good pair of pickups that are designed to replicate the sound of original mid 70's 335 pickups, or any other suggestions, I'm all ears. Also, I'd like to stick with the chrome covers.
Cheers,
Dave
