Phat cats in a 335

[Stratsky]

I have found "THE" pickup for a 335 (mine at least). I have been contemplating putting Phat cats in my 335 for a while. I kept the 57 Classics in it for about a year because I really wanted to give them a chance, but I found myself playing it less because of it's tone even though it's action makes it a dream to play. These Phat cats just opened it up and it really sings. All positions sound great. I highly recommend Phat cats for a semi-hollow body. I might have to swap out the Seth's in my LP for Phat cats. Anybody want to buy a set of Seth Lovers or 57 Classics?

I'm in the same position as you i have a humbucker type p90 in a korean L-5 copy and it really sounds great. My 335 still has the humbuckers because i did not want to sacrify the classic look! The DiMarzio Bluesbucker might be the ticket, but i'm not sure.

I have a few friends who put HB sized P90's in their 335's and they really liked it. I'm tempted to try it one of these days...just spent a week swapping out HB's in a 335 until I got it sorta right.

Phat Cats in a semi rock!

I won't ever change them out of my Sheraton.

These Phat cats are going to stay in my 335. One, because they sound great (I love single coil pickups) and two, changing pickups in a 335 is a real bitch.
