J35 Owners!! Amplify My J35 1936 Reissue
Hi, Folks...
I am constantly seeking the perfect amplified sound that I cannot define. To that end, I have been in crisis for months over my 2014 Gibson J35 1936 Reissue pickup system. I love this guitar, GREAT player with the classic shorter Gibby scale, and a really loud and sustaining sound.... 100% one of the nicest fingerstyle guitars I've played or owned -- but I have to negotiate with its flipping VT Element pickup every time I plug in.... Kind of trebly, not quite the sound I m after. I've also tried all kinds of strings, and I like the D'Addario NB's, EJ16's and recently put some Thomastik Spectums on it. These strings all sound very nice in their own ways, but I think there's still something missing - a fullness, or a lower end tremble, or something I need.... Anyway, those of you who are J35 Reissue owners -- how do you handle your plugged-in life with this guitar? Did you folks swap out the Element? If so, replacements or suggestions? Thanks!
