Well, I have the Lawrence pickups in the V, and I like them just fine. This guitar sounds a bit thinner than my Explorer, but there's a lot less wood so it's not really a fair comparison.

To make the installation look clean I used Bills mounting rings on top of the pickguard. They're not screwed in, just held on by the pickup's mounting screws, but the look is much better than without them. Now I have a Kramer without any pickups at all, unless I put the ones I removed in...NOT!:D
