Re: SH-16 in Semi-hollow body 335
Hey Mincer! Yeah maybe hey. I have a pearly gates bridge (around 8k) in a 339 and I still get feedback if Im using distortion or overdrive. I've even had weird experiences with stock Epiphone PAF type pickups - notably using an Orange amp.. But there's a good chance I was just too close to the amp, we didn't have much space.
I was thinking to just go with a 59 in the bridge then!

Re: SH-16 in Semi-hollow body 335
The tone is probably fantastic. The worry would be possible feedback (the bad kind) at stage volume. It might not even be a problem, as the pickup isn't THAT hot. It's just a concern. For bedroom playing or recording it's probably awesome. My personal preference would probably be to swap in an A4 or UOA5 magnet, but ymmv.
If you try it be sure to come back and tell us about the results.

Well, feedback is always a concern with high preamp gain, high volume and a semi-hollow. Some people avoid it by just facing the amp away from them, or jut being far away from the amp. I not ever play with that much gain, so I use unpotted Antiquities with my Eastman 335 clone- I get feedback, but only the good kind.

I have a BB3 in my 335 and it feeds back pretty easily, even on larger bar stages. I have a Schecter 339 style with an SH16 that is chambered instead of ply and is ok with lower levels of gain, heavier rock tones require a lot of attention to volume knobs. I frequently leave my neck volume rolled off and quickly flick the toggle when I'm not playing.

It really depends on your amp, speakers, settings, if yiu use pedals, etc.
I played a 335 with a really hot bridge pickup with no problems at all. It is definitely worth trying the Hybrid!

With a warm, rich unoriented magnet (A2 or UOA5), the '59/Custom would be very nice in a semi-hollow.

In the mid 2000s I met a guy who'd installed a Distortion in a 60s vintage ES-335 back in the 80s. Not only did it not have feedback issues, it sounded amazing.

I don’t see how a pickup is going to affect feedback with a semi-hollow.

Well, a hot pickup in concert with high gain and high volume can cause feedback.

Re: SH-16 in Semi-hollow body 335
I agree, but a semi-hollow at high volume with any amount of gain feeds back very easily. Seems kind of like juggling 6 balls, then deciding not to try 7 because you might drop one

Here is an Epiphone Dot Studio with a JB (way hotter than a 59/Custom). The amp is a 100 watt Marshall combo. The squeel you hear early on is the Blackstar/Ibanez on the right. Check out 2:20 or so for some cool rockstar moves. At the end of the bridge / intro solo I point the guitar right at the amp. I think you'll be fine...but that's me.
By the way - It was loud here...
