Title: Holydiver or VHII neck?
Post by: ElectricTurkey4369 on July 03, 2011, 10:37:58 PM

I want to replace the mule in my Les Paul...I need something a bit more clear with more bite. Maybe its the Alnico IV mag i don't like?

I want a nice fluid and cutting lead tone and nice cleans as well. The mule sounds awful for leads. It sounds really compressed, I want something a bit more open. Thanks guys

VHII sounds like the ticket - it's more single coil like than the HD.

You could also add the Riffraff to the list, it will be more cutting than the VHII or HD!

I remember Tim recommended me that one...but I went with the mule...?

Lesson: Always listen to Tim  :lol:

You could ask Tim about replacing the AIV with an AV magnet! I don't know how close this gets it to the RR, however I had the same problem as you and changed the magnet and it did open up the sound much more to my liking!

I think the RiffRaff is basically a Mule AV, at least very close.
