Installing Humbuckers in Model 620

Post by sunn »

Can humbuckers fit into the 620's single coil spaces. The guitar's pick-up slots look kinda large like humbuckers would fit into them but i am not sure. Has anyone changed the 620's stock single coils to humbuckers before. advice. discretion? Thanks

First off, do you mean the Rick humbuckers?
Second, knowing what year your 620 is would tell whether it is easy or not to swap out the existing PUs for HBs.Tell us the serial # off the jackplate, and that will give us the info.

At the top of the jack plate is #00 and at the bottom of the plate is #43886. I bought the 620 6-string brand new last year (2000). I wanted to put in some EMG pick ups. I don't think I want to put in Rick humbuckers. I hope this info helps. thank you.
