What I was woundering about is how much the low gain vintage pickups are running for now days to be able to put them in a 620.

They do not seem to come up on ebay much at all and RIC does not seem to keep in stock many of their spare parts anymore.

My local store has a set of high gains for $99 but said they have not been able to get the VP's in for over a year.
$150 ea and up.

That is far out cool!
I actually wanted a JG but ended up with a FG. I like the way someone once described a JG 620 to me..."it's like it's wearing a tuxedo". :D

You can't do a push pull to single coil with toasters (VP) as they are only single coil so what would you switch between? :?
But couldn't you wire them in series and and make the 2 pickups into one humbucker(sorta) and have a switch to toggle between the HB and SC sounds?
Just like the Fender S1 switching setup? Just buy a Tele! :mrgreen: :twisted: :lol:
