$65 each ... I will break even at that price ...

I also have two HGs P/Us from my 360/12 if anyone wants to buy them them.
By the way, I didn't notice the difference. It was two weeks before I got the guitar back and I was unable to remember what it sounded like before.
All in the pursuit of the "jangle."
Oh well.

Jeff, if you still have those, I'm interested. I'll email you.

I went a completely different route. I swapped the hi-gains in my 360 for Ric HBs.

Jeff,
- Anybody,
How does that work??? Do you take the pole piece screws out the the high gains...Interesting...Or make the screw pole pieces headless then put the covers from the toaster tops on.

Remove poles, cut buttons off (Dremel tool) and re-insert poles so that the top is flush with the bobbin and drop on a toaster cover - or - remove poles and replace them with poles scrounged from another brand of pickup. Tedious work at first, but not terribly difficult once you get into it.
Neck pickup is a real toaster, middle and bridge are converted high-gains with the buttons cut off.
