Sell the 335 and buy Molly's PRS.

Anyone tried low wound pups?

Dimarzio 36 are actually really rude pickups.
Fucking great but if you’re finding 57s too hot they’re a side step.

Have you tried dropping them down, e.g. flat with the mounting rings?

That's quite a gentle humbucker--though quite a round, full tone. Which part of the tone spectrum are you finding is too much? All of it, or just a region?

Turn the drive down on your amps/pedals, make sure the pickups are not set too high. You could try burstbuckers I suppose--they will remove a bit of the mids.

You can get humbuckers as low as 6k (such as Gibson mini-humbuckers), but you would lose some warmth.

Agree. I found 57's to be pretty low-medium output. Lowering the pickup height worked well for me when I wanted to let the amp do the driving work.
