Abaco Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 I have a couple killer Studios now but am interested in acquireing something less expensive as a backup at gigs. Never liked bringing two expensive guitars to a bar for some reason. Any opinions on the import Vector? I like the string-through body design and they look cool but I've never gotten my hands on one. Would I need to change out much hardware? Am curious about this. Thanks.
cmatthes Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Tuners, possibly. Pickups, probably, depending on your rig and requirements. I was very pleasantly surprised with the one I bought, and I've got the stock tuners and D.Designed pickups still in there. The tuners are actually very decent quality "Snot n' Nickel" Kluson copies, and have never slipped and hold tune well. Believe it or not, they are better than the Gibson Klusons on 2 recent Gibsons I've sold in the last few years! Pickups, as always, are a matter of personal taste - worth trying out anyway. All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to gig with it if I needed to.
JJ Paul Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 I swapped the Duncan Designs in mine (black korean bound w/crowns) with Di Marzio Virtual PAFs and now that Vee smokes... it really does.I personally don't care for the "snot'n'nickels" that much (I'd really like them in cream white) but there's really not much else you should upgrade... maybe just some copper shielding in the control cavitiy...JJ
