I mean no offense or criticism. I didn't say that the clip posted here sounded bad but it does not sound "full, warm, round" at all, to my ears. Everyone is free to disagree.

Until then, turn the tone control on the guitar down a little. (or get yourself the same plugin, then you will have THAT tone).
It really is that simple. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill.

It strikes me as lot warmer than Jimmy's sample, and I got there just by turning the (stock) 250k tone pot down a litlle. Bear in mind that Jimmy claimed that trial and error in choosing a pickup is pointless and people should just listen to him because he's an expert on the tone of pickup magnets ("You can quit being obstinate and listen to people who effing know what they're talking about because they teched heavily for years!"). I don't think that sample and that statement support each other very well.Last edited by John A.; 03-29-2024 at 01:30 PM.

I am the op who came here for help. And thanks to everyone for the very enlightening discussion.

I'm the op. Here are three approximations of the kind of tone I'd like. In the first, Joe Diorio is almost surely playing PAFs in his old 175 and I don't know what Pat Metheny is using in his Ibanez but both have great tones, in the second Beth Marlis (vice president of Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles) is playing a Seymour Duncan Benedetto B6 in a Benedetto 16-B, and I don't know what Rick Stone is playing. I think Pat Metheny and Rick Stone are the closest to what I'm after.

If so, I think chasing pickup details is barking up the wrong tree. Because the pickup on a 24-fret neck is shifted almost an inch closer to the bridge than on 20 or 22 fret neck, no matter what kind of pickup you use it's going to sound more scooped/brighter than any flavor of 175-style guitar.

Yes. But I think this gets pretty close. This is the sound I hope to get out of my Edwards 335 7 but maybe a little darker. I don't know what pickups Stryker plays either but I think he plays an unmodified 347. In an interview he said he keeps the tone control all the way on.
