My last question about pickup changing - I promise!

<t>Hi all,<br/> <br/> So I took my Vigier Shawn Lane to my tech to change the bridge pickup to a Bareknuckle Holy Diver.<br/> <br/> He has had a problem though due to the screw holes. This is what he said:<br/> <br/> “Issue with the scratchplate/pickup - there are 3 screw holes in your scratchplate a ...

Shawn Lane Signature - Thin Sounding?

<r><QUOTE author="DeLorean"><s>[quote="DeLorean"]</s> I do not know if "thin" is the right word, but the fact that the strings are very close to the frets gives a kind of compression to the sound. This might be what you call "thin".<br/> That is the way Shawn Lane wanted his setting. Raising the ...

Shawn Lane Signature - Thin Sounding?

<r><QUOTE author="DeLorean"><s>[quote="DeLorean"]</s> Did you buy the guitar new or used? Generally the SLs sound pretty warm and thick (because of the pickups and also partly because of the shorter scale.)<br/> We do use an unconventional wiring scheme on all the HSH guitars, I&apos;m wondering if ...

Pickup Swap Question

<t>I’m looking to swap the pickups in my Shawn Lane signature as I just need a bit more balls and the Air Classics are a little low output for my taste.<br/> <br/> After speak to Bareknuckle, I’m considering their ‘Holy Diver’ in the bridge and a ‘Cold Sweat’ in the neck, but I’m concerned about the ...

Shawn Lane Signature - Thin Sounding?

<t>So I got my Shawn Lane Signature earlier this week, and now that it’s had a setup and fret dress, I’m loving it!! It’s my first Vigier, and the most comfortable guitar I’ve ever played - I’m already saving for another Vigier!<br/> <br/> However, I’ve noticed that the Shawn Lane sounds very thin co ...

Shawn Lane Signature Questions

Thanks Ben, that&apos;s really helpful!!! :)
The guitar is with the tech at the moment.  None of the UK dealers seem to have stock of the nuts though - will it be ok if he recuts it, or will it cause a problem?

Shawn Lane Signature Questions

(sorry!<br/> <br/> I keep seeing mention of a 2011 trem (mine doesn&apos;t have a floyd rose) - that&apos;s why I wondered whether mine was different. So is my 2009 model on ball bearings ...

Shawn Lane Signature Questions

<r>Hi,<br/> <br/> I&apos;m just curious - is there a big difference between the Shawn Lane Signature vs Shawn Lane Master models?<br/> <br/> It&apos;s the non-Floyd model - how is the trem on the older ones - is it the same as the current trem? <br/> <br/> Also, I&apos;ve heard there are some issues ...

Vigier Indus Question

<t>I’m wondering what the fundamental differences are between an Excalibur Indus and Excalibur Special.<br/> <br/> Am I right in thinking that it’s mainly the pickups and pickup configuration (PAF Classics vs ToneZone & PAF Pro, and H-H vs H-S-H)?<br/> <br/> Reason for my question is a friend of min ...
