Put It Together with 335 Tone
Today I'll be using my Gibson 335. This guitar can do anything from a dark jazzy tone coming from the neck pickup, to a bright old school rock 'n' roll tone coming from the bridge pickup.
It always sounds great to use the middle pickup position for the rhythm parts, and then switch to the bridge pickup for the solo. I'll be using a basic overdriven tone, and then I'll add some more gain for the solos by stepping on my distortion pedal.
