Rails are too wide for a lawrence, My guess: it is a schaller hot stuff double rail pickup. Same as Mathias Jabs used in his strats in the very early 80s. They were quite common at the time.
Now that I think about it I think there WAS a double bladed Mighty Mite pickup back then. Makes sense as his parts were mostly Mighty Mite.
Here is an old advertisement from the 70s showing a Mighty Mite pickup that looks like the one in the Dokken video.

The one in the middle on top has clear bobbins and black hex screws.
No way.. it might be a Bill Lawrence but its not that L90. Look at it you can see the seam in the video between the bobbins. the L90 is just a big rectangle.
You know, this is one of those examples of "Too much gear focus, not enough chops"
Dokkens early tone was generally crap. Just slap the Distortion isn there and roll with it. Most of what you here on disc is Distortion.
All the gear and none of the chops = crap. If you have the chops, the tone will be fine with a turn of the knobs. Not saying you don't.
Just saying Lynch sounds pretty much the same regardless of whatever tweeky little electronics change he has made over the years.
I think all the "tone" guys - Lynch, Ed, Malmsteen, etc...all went through a very early - TRY EVERYTHING phase...

I was more concerned with Wild Mick Brown.
Did anyone notice him switching from jazz grip to standard and going back and forth?
That was back when Don was running ****... did you guys notice the band taking their volume down during the verses so Don's weak vocals could punch through the mix better? Lolz.
