                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Toro has two regular size hummers.  Like I said, they are the same size as the Gibby's in my V.  Yes, the Fender hummers seem totally weak.  I just don't know other pickups as well as the Gibson 496R and 500T.  The necks on both guitars are so similar, the weight on the Fender is several pounds more than the Gibson.  If the Gibson Pickups would go in the Fender, it would be great.  The sound difference then would be the woods of the guitars.  Poplar for the Toro and  Mahogany for the V.  I am also thinking - How can I get the Toro to weigh less?]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I currently have a Fender Toronado (MIM) and A Gibson Faded V.  My Gibby just burns and was thinking of putting the same pickups the V has in the Toronado, just for kicks.  Anybody ever tried Something similar to this that could pass on experience.  Much Appreciated.  Even if you have not tried this experiment, can you think of reasons why it can't be done or would not work.  I have measured the holes and sizes of the pickups and they match up.  The Fender has three screws holding it down and the Gibby has two.  I'm thinking that could be fixed.  I am not worrying about the modificaton of the Toro, I have already modified it some and doubt I would ever get what I paid for it, anyway.  I don't plan on trashing this guitar, I just want it to open up a little more.]]></content:encoded>
