See this post in the G&L Knowledgebase: SC-2 pickups.

Hope this helps.

Wow, it didn't take long for the G&L bug to bite you hard! It took me something like three months to start hunting my third G&L. At this rate you'll be pushing a dozen by next summer!

Ever think about getting your hands on a Leo-era plank? You can find a lot of models pretty easily for well under the price of a new SC-2. Just stay away from the rarebirds and the going prices are very reasonable.

Ken,

Thanks for reminding folks here that Leo Fender used to own and run this company. However I do not appreciate you telling others to buy Leo era guitars. You know as well as I do that those early G&L's are inferior and should be sent to Chicago for disposal.

Anyone with Leo era guitars should contact me for a mailing address and disposal fee. I will dispose of early Asats at no charge.

Be careful,

No, Maryland. I think the state is working out some sort of licensing arrangement, like Nevada has with radioactive waste.

Guess it will become a game who of us will score that EPA grant to have the one and only certified LEGSUP (Leo Era Guitar Stockpile for Unwanted Pieces) facility.

My wife would swear it's already right here in Maryland. You'd have a hard time convincing her otherwise!
