When you said "50's" and Goldtop, I kind of figured it was.


Yes- being my first foray into electric playing, I really didn’t feel like I needed to go for Humbuckers right off the bat. Just starting to get my feet wet, and the P-90s are really sweet.

You can approach it however you feel comfortable, but there really aren't any rules about what type of pickups to get first, or work your way up to.  You'd have done great with a Tele, your guitar, or a 335.  Having said all that, you did great with what you got.

Oh yeah, I understand that. It was going to be either this or a Strat.

 

My stepfather has a 1968 ES-335, also, if I want to play that one. And another Les Paul, from about 1990. But I wanted my own.

Well then, you are pretty well set!  If you have access to a 335 and a Les Paul, your bases are covered there.

 

I have two Epiphone 335's that I got last year (both 2021's) and I got my Les Paul Custom way back in 1987 (it was made in 1986.)  I really like the 335's.  Their bodies are so big, it really feels like you've got something to hold onto.  Back in 2020, I got a Music Man Albert Lee guitar with three P-90's, so I'm pretty set there.

 

I bet that '68 335 is sweet!
