What kind(s) of amp and effects do you have now? You may already have what you need. You nominally have the right pickups for a CS-type tone (Gibson-style humbuckers), but the honky quality of the hollow-body 335 may work against it.

In trying to achieve Carlitos' tone on my own, I use the neck pickup of a virtual '59 LP with the tone dialed way back. I'm still fooling around with amp settings. Right now I'm using a virtual Mesa Boogie with the preamp switch set to Low, preamp level at 3/4 and Master at 2/3. Bass, middle, and presence are almost all the way up and treble is almost all the way down.

I look forward to hearing any suggestions in this direction myself. Good luck.
