Cole, I have offered them to some one in the UK as a trade, but if it doesn't happen, then I'll take you up on that.
I can't believe that you want to trade a beautiful pair of hot '91 toasters that are full of tone, for a pair of weak 7.4's......my lucky day!

Here is a link to Ted's website for anyone interested:

It has good info on how to get true vintage sound from Ricks with the hotter pickups.

By the way,will Rickenbacker swap new "scatterwound" toasters for hotter 90's ones the way they will sell/swap a TRC or pickguard for customers?Just curious.

I don't think they do that.

I'd bet they have none left. I have 5 of them here and would swap.

Thanks for the offer,butI was just curious.I won a 1997 325v63 on Ebay and it was delivered just yesterday.I haven't had enough time to play with it yet.I really need a good practice amp that would be well suited to this guitar.Maybe after I get my Silvertone 1451 fixed I will have a better idea how it sounds.My other amp is a Tech 21 Trademark 10,great for my Gibson Melody Maker and Fender Duo-Sonic but I can't find the right sound for a Ric with this amp.Maybe a small Vox would sound better.

If any of you are planning on winding or unwinding a pickup you better have good eyes, a delicate touch and a LOT of patience as that wire is so fine it is unbelievable.

Are the toasters in the 2004 340 I used to own the same as the ones that will be used in the 325c64?

Good question, Mitch. I don't think the p/u specs for the C64's have been released.
But my SWAG is that they will be the 7.4kOhm scatterwounds, as these are considered "60's spec". These are the standard toaster pickups ( "VP" option) used by RIC today (except in the C58's, as BobKat mentioned on page 1 of this thread).
