The Vigier Forum
Hi,
I am looking to put a new bridge pickup in my GV Wood and will likely need a different pup ring that accomodates standard single screw pickup mounting. Has anyone found good replacements or other options I could use?
Or is there a plate in the guitar and pickup currently that would facilitate an easier pup swap, and not need a ring replacement, as listed in these threads?

I'd like to know that too cause that bridge pickup is way too bright for my taste. What type of Amber is that actually?
And a little bit hotter.
Too vintage voiced..
I own two Vigier GV Wood guitars and on both, the pickups are branded as Amber's "Classic Rock". Not sure if they are specially made for Vigier .... differently than their normal line.
I don't recall how the pickup screws/plates are, sorry (easy task to carefully unscrew and take a look anyway)
Fantastic pickups IMO
Sorry for the delay jumping in here...
With our pickup rings and pickguard alike, usually the best option is to pop a hole in the side that needs one. We use three screws to mount the pickups so you can pitch it forward and back. If you want to replace them, usually you'll need to add a hole to the side with two and conveniently it'll usually fit right in between the two existing ones.
I'll have to check with the boss, but I'm not sure the Ambers have the plate mentioned. DiMarzio affixes a little plate to their existing pickups to allow for the three screw mounting. Sometimes you can just take it off and stick it on the new pickup. It's pretty tiny.
