One other thing - top EMGs can run $80 - $100 a piece so this will give you an idea of what you'll be spending. Not to mention the labor of the tech doing the work for you. I would recommend having it done by a pro and when you have the pickups swapped, have the tech do an entire setup - new strings, tuned, intonated, truss rod adjustments, string height, frets smoothed and polished, etc. That way you know that when you get your axe back it should sound as good as that axe is ever going to sound (assuming the tech is a good one).
