pups are slightly less than 1/2 an inch away from the strings.

It probably is. Try a Duncan JB. Also, you *can* do springs - my Jackson has them. I never understood the foam, either - every direct-mount guitar I've had has had springs. Must be an Ibby thing.

You need to shim those pickups. Springs might get there but it's likely to wobble a bit.
I'll post a quick 'how to' later tonight, 6-8 hours from now. It will be a night and day difference in tone and output.

I'm with Vin on this one. Mahogany I love my 2027. It feels like everytime I play it, I hear some new, subtle nuance that just blws me away with how good it sounds.

But that's me. If I HAD to get a new RG body for it, I'd agree with Drew. Alder, maybe with a maple cap, would own. Another great choice may be Swamp Ash. Jim Soloway loves swampo ash for his guitars, especially the 7's.

After those, my choices would be (in descending order)

Mahogany with a maple cap
Walnut
Koa
Basswood

i shimmed my pickups on my RG7621... and wow! you'll hear the difference

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways,
we could reverse the particle flow through the gate.
We'll cross the streams.
