Hi all,
I have a Charvel from 89/90. I recently put an EMG 81 in it and it has less high end than I expected and seems to have a mid honk almost like a cocked wah. Maybe that's the character, but I was expecting a more bright scooped sound.
It's always been quite a dark sounding guitar, has a 24 3/4" scale, and has a Schaller Floyd with the cast metal plate.
I've heard people say the Schaller is warmer or darker sounding than an OFR so I'm wondering about changing to either an OFR or Gotoh as they both have steel plates.
I know they won't technically fit the recess but I found these on e.b.a.y https://www.ebay.com/itm/6-SHORT-String-Lock-SCREWS-for-Floyd-Rose-Original-Special-Lic-Tremolo-Bridge/392264589063
Does the floyd plate material make such a difference?
