Members companyman Posted November 10, 2013 Members Share Posted November 10, 2013 Just picked up a mid-70's Pan 335-type semi-hollow guitar. It has odd single coil pickups in it that look like something off a Rickenbacker or something...they sound incredible, jangle and bite with great clarity and very little hum! The build quality is tops, subtle flamed maple red laquer, gold hardware trapeze tailpiece MOP block inlays, rosewood fretboard....crikey I am in love!

Members companyman Posted November 11, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2013 No, exactly like the link I posted with single coils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members companyman Posted November 11, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2013 It has a Lou Reed VU thing going on with these pickups, great rhythm guitar! They are pretty low output that help keep my OR15 get some more clean headroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members travisbrowning Posted November 12, 2013 Members Share Posted November 12, 2013 Oh wow, that looks pretty killer. I bet it looks even better with singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members companyman Posted November 12, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 12, 2013 Yeah Travvy it does the pickups are black, the magnet poles are aged chrome and the pickup surrounds are oversized black/white 5 ply like the binding on the neck and the missing pickguard(I presume, as it was missing when I bought it) I am toying with the idea of a black mother of pearl or just a black and white 5 ply replacement. Or maybe I'll leave it guardless....the finish is aged and looks great! I am also thinking of getting some Duncan Antiquity Firebird pickups for it.... Those are my fav pickups and I think they will fit without routing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
