Not necessarily; EMG's are not "hot" in the same way as, say, a Duncan Distortion (they get their punch from a built-in preamp) and they have very little string pull.
EDIT: LOL, we both said "not necessarily." :laugh2:
I actually know some excellent and big name jazz players who use EMG's on their jazzboxes. It's actually because of the low noise and -super- sterile clean sound they have. It works for some people.
+1 buddy. I think it looks like it's made of plastic, and I find it hard to take a guitar as gorgeous as a gibby 335 without PAF-style pickups... it's just wrong...
