Hey all,
I've seen various post on here conserning neck angles on 335s and wanted to ask a question. some of you that have owned or currently own original 335 examples that have a more shallow neck angle that the abr-1 sits very low almost toching the body is the rear pickup ring the tall style like found on the LP Customs? or are they the middle height like the middle pickup on a 57-60 Custom? the reason I'm asking is on the more recent Historics they use a medium height ring. It dont look like a tall correct style ring would fit. I've only seen a few 335s in my life and dont remember the rear ring type. also I got to thinking is the neck really more shallow on some examples causing the abr to sit low or is do the thickness of the belly of the top at the bridge area vary on these which would explain the bridge heights? what is your opinions about this?
