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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
