I have an old es335 knockoff (GTX) I bought as a kid. I love how it plays but the pickups and electrical are garbage. I have been considering replacing the pickups. I understand these give a Gretsch vibe. Does anyone have any input if these pickups would go well on a hollow body for that modification. Or how do you like these pickups if you have played them?

i just ordered but i don't have these currently. they sound great on youtube, and they're definitely gretsch-y. it's a filter'tron design with blades in place of posts.
generally speaking, with a hollow body there are always more concerns about acoustic feedback. i'd imagine some pickups fare better than others in that regard and there are certainly a lot of trons in hollow bodies out there, but i couldn't say how these specifically would perform in that regard
