Cleaner than 57 pups in 335
Hello! I have another question about pups. I find my 335 pups hot. I need something cleaner. Any suggestions?

Seth Lovers, had them in my 339 and they were great in a hollow body.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Re: Cleaner than 57 pups in 335
Dimarzio 36 are actually really rude pickups.
Fucking great but if you’re finding 57s too hot they’re a side step.

Re: Cleaner than 57 pups in 335
That's quite a gentle humbucker--though quite a round, full tone. Which part of the tone spectrum are you finding is too much? All of it, or just a region?imarco wrote:Hello! I have another question about pups. I find my 335 pups hot. I need something cleaner. Any suggestions?
Turn the drive down on your amps/pedals, make sure the pickups are not set too high. You could try burstbuckers I suppose--they will remove a bit of the mids.
You can get humbuckers as low as 6k (such as Gibson mini-humbuckers), but you would lose some warmth.

Re: Cleaner than 57 pups in 335
Agree. I found 57's to be pretty low-medium output. Lowering the pickup height worked well for me when I wanted to let the amp do the driving work.olegmcnoleg wrote:That's quite a gentle humbucker--though quite a round, full tone.
