Kent, I don't know what sound you are after so the selection of whichever pickup you choose should be based off your ears.
Do you have enough room for the long pole magnets of a toaster to fit in the neck position of your guitar?
The two hi-gains up front will sound real nice. My first three pup Rick was a custom ordered Jetglo 370WB from late 1984 that had hi-gains.
The photo you see above is a vintage tribute to my old guitar.
I do get different sounds depending where the strings are hit above each pickup.
The guitar in the photo above has three individual slave volumes with one master volume and one master tone. I can dial in however much of whichever pickup I want.
Endless tones! |

It's just a plain-jane NON-ACTIVE McGuinn circuit.
No comp/boost.
Dual mono inputs are wired 1) 60's tone cap 2) straight for modern sound. |

Gotcha. Let me sketch it up here. Sounds like way to go on a 3 pup guitar! |

A sketch would be great, Paul. Can you display it here?
>>>Kent, I don't know what sound you are after...
I guess I'd like a bit more old 60's jangle than my current Ric 360 and its hi-gains, but not too much. I've never played a toaster pup so I'm a bit in the dark here. However since I'll soon own two 360s, I simply want to make one of them different than the other more than just cosmetically.
>>> Do you have enough room for the long pole magnets of a toaster to fit in the neck position of your guitar?
I dunno! .... aint a 370 just a 360 with an extra pickup? I assumed that space would not be an issue, but maybe I'm wrong? |

I have two extra highgains. So I would probably get the 370 with three toasters and put a high gain in the bridge. |

Hmmmm, interesting. Since on a 370 the middle and neck pups are wired together it would make sense that the both be the same type.
What would happen if those two combined pups were different... one Hi-gain and one Vintage 7.4k-ohm toaster? Would all hell break lose? Would the Hi-gain just overwhelm the Toaster? |

I don't think that the highgain would just drown out the toaster completely. But in the neck position they are a much bassier sounding pickup.
Thats why I'd leave them with the toasters and just put one of my Highgains in the bridge. I'd like to have a twelve like that. Since I have the 360/6 already.
In addition I'd still have a spare highgain and Toaster. You never know. |

I think you're right. Unfortunately for me I've never played a toaster.... can you describe the difference in sound between a vintage 7.4k-ohm toaster and a hi-gain? More jangle? Is there a better description than that? And whats the sound difference between a single toaster in the neck position (like a 360) and two toasters at the mid/neck position (like a 370)? thanks in advance for any help since I'm kinda in the dark here ... What I REALLY need to do is find a Ric with toasters and discover it for myself! |
