Hi guys,
Argh-I have a Gibson ES335 and I was doing some shows this weekend and I'm wondering if the stock pickups are "overwound"? See, I play a style that I need to have my guitar tone be clean-not solid state clean, but that nice tube warm clean. Anyway, I have found that with this guitar if I turn the guitar up to 10 and hit a thick jazz chord, it breaks up too much for my enjoyment. How can I determine how much winding these pickups have? Is it a matter of just measuring the oms? If I bring the volume knob down to 8 or so the cliping goes away, but so does some of the tone. Thanks for reading this longwinded question!
