First of all, as a newcomer I'd like to say thanks to the members for all the Burny info here...really helped me with my RSG-75 purchase. I hope I did good :D I'm trying to find out if these pickups are VH1's. Maybe VH4's? I have not seen any pics of RSG's without covers(and speed knobs.) The pup's look the same age as the guitar. Anyone care to guess at what year this is? Think the speed knobs are aftermarket? Anyway, I digress... I've had a pair of Tokai 57 PAF's in my box for a while and wondered what you all thought of dropping them in this baby. Pics:

Sorry about the small size of the pics, I had a setting wrong on photobucket when I uploaded.

Thanks,

Thanks for the info! So are you saying my guitar is a mid 80's then? I've read a lot about Burny Les Pauls, but not much about SG's. I have been trying to apply the Les Paul info to my guitar in hopes of identifying. I think the speed knobs are not original, and the pickups look as if they did not have covers soldered to them. I did not see any model like that in the 85 catalog. Again, thanks for the reply.

Regards,

I got to try her out at rehearsal tonight, and I'm going to leave the pickups alone. They sound great. Only thing I may do is put some covers on them, and get some reflector top hat knobs. Very happy with my first Burny!
