Early George Lynch - Bill Lawrence?

[DeanSweden]

All this time I thought George Lynch used a Duncan Distortion in his
Tiger during the early days with Dokken.

This one proved me wrong :scratchch

Re: Early George Lynch - Bill Lawrence?

Re: Early George Lynch - Bill Lawrence?

I'm also thinking an x2n. the blades look too wide to be a BL.

Re: Early George Lynch - Bill Lawrence?

Wayyyyy too wide to be a BL. Heck, it might even be a Mighty Mite from back then but I don't know if they made blade pickups then or not. It was before I started playing guitar and by the time I had heard of Dokken, he was using Distortions.

I forgot all about Juan Croucier playing bass for them.

Re: Early George Lynch - Bill Lawrence?

rails are not wide enough to be X2N either :scratchch
but ... given the year this video was shot and where it was
shot makes alot of sense. Dokken was in Germany to record their
debut. this would be the around the same time Bill Lawrence went
back to Germany for family causes.

Re: Early George Lynch - Bill Lawrence?

It's a Lawrence L90 with raised arched rails. They look bigger because the angle & the lights are casting shadows. Below is a pair on eBay just like George's.

You guys still don't think it's a Bill Lawrence?

Re: Early George Lynch - Bill Lawrence?

I think it's whatever someone gave him for free.

Re: Early George Lynch - Bill Lawrence?

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.

He replaced this with what? A Duncan Distortion?

Re: Early George Lynch - Bill Lawrence?

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.

finally... something in that video that is worth talking about. Mick is an solid rock drummer.
