I have tried to research these and cannot find a lot in terms of how they compare to PAFs or the earlier versions from the early 60s up until these were used.I have a 1967 ES 335 that has the late patent number pre T top pick ups. I’m curious how these compare tonally to the ones that preceded them and the T tops that came after. They read around 7.2 (neck) and 7.25 (bridge) and are somewhat bright. But I’ve never played a guitar with older pafs and was curious about the sonic differences and how bright they’re supposed to sound in these?
