650 Pick Up Question for John Hall

[jwilli]

John Hall, have there been any changes in the Humbuckers? My 650 Dakota was built in '93. Are my Humbuckers basically the same as the ones being made today? I've seen some called HB1's and some called HB2's. What are the differences, if any?

I believe the HB2 pickups are those that are found on 220, 260, and 230GF models. They adjust from the backside of the guitar.

I call them the "RIC monogrammed" pickups.


By the way, JH: Are there any left over HB2s for sale?
