Hello fellow 335 owners,
I thought I would post a couple of pictures of the pickups on my 1972 ES-335 TD walnut finish guitar. I bought this new back in the summer of 1973 after working all summer to earn the $450 it cost me. The shop that sold it had received it in late 1972, where I went to try it out. I unpacked it new, tried it out, loved it, but didn't have the money then. When I came back with the cash, the shop (Grayson's Tune Town in Montrose, CA for those local to So. Calif.) still had it in their inventory. Woo hoo!
These are the original pickups that the Gibson factory installed. From what I've been told, Gibson only installed these pickup covers with the "Gibson" name embossed into the cover on late 1971 thru 1972 guitars.
These pickups are t-top's, with the patent number sticker on the back:
