Thank you for your kind reply...so the scatterwound are then less powerful ..so I need to search for toasters from 60's or 70's and/or those ones they re producing now....right?jdogric12 wrote:The toasters from the early 80's to 1999 are called "hot" toasters and are more similar to hi-gains, 11k I think. In 1999 they introduced what are often called "scatterwound" toasters that more closely resemble the sound of 60's toasters, and are 7.4k IIRC.mrsoul wrote:Hello again
and thanks for your kind replies here...so at the end , as for brand new guitars, I'll try to buy two kind of strings, Ric and another one, to make compare
About pick-ups, wait to listen the sound of this guitar - it's my very first time play a Ric - and then I'll try , if don t like Hi-Gain pups - to change them with toaster...so one more question for you all : I read somewhere that Toaster pick ups produced now are really different from the original from 60's. A resistance value of 11k vs 7.4k...is it true?...so what I should, eventually, find anywhere?..thanks again..

I'd put it as the hot toaster is louder and darker sounding than the "first-run" and the modern scatterwounds.mrsoul wrote:...so the scatterwound are then less powerful ..so I need to search for toasters from 60's or 70's and/or those ones they re producing now....right?
