Ahhh PAF… hehe
It is a shame Gibson pickups are so much $$$ the 57 classics are sooo good!!!
I actually lucked out with the pickups in my Lester… I always change them out to something else but this time I was so happy with them.
I do it I just don’t have strings ATM so I’m giving it to my teacher who does.
I’d put '57’s in the 335… If I had the money. As it is, that bridge+tailpiece is gonna cost me $200! I may actually have to go with DiMarzio’s in that too, gold plated SD’s are rare and expensive!
Yea they are!! But a good bridge and tailpiece can add a ton of goo tone as well!!
So where do you guys get your parts? I’ve seen a couple websites but some of them for have what I’m looking for. Also that is a beautiful guitar love the tailpiece and white on gold. I’m planning on slowly doing upgrades to my dot.
Allparts, guitarfetish… You really need to research yourself… Find something, and then ask.
PS: I hope that didn’t come off as harsh, cause it wasn’t supposed to.
Lets revive this! Here’s my current rig.

Currently using an Epiphone Dot into a Marshall Mg30x Special edition. Hopefully I will be getting new pickups and some pedals for Christmas. Then me and my dad are going to try and build something, more than likely a strat.
The best part of building a guitar isn’t the product, it’s building the actual thing.
Being able to actually watch everything come together and in the end hopefully work is probably amazing. So much pride in what you do in the end. I can’t wait to do it myself. I Still think your build was great.
