Thin sound could be actually caused by very low string action. I experienced this on two of my guitars, was thinking about changing pickups (SD JB and Fishman Fluence which I really liked on other guitars), but then I raised up the bridge a bit and it solved the issue completely. Probably the issue is that strings don't have enough space to move with full amplitude. And in my case I didn't even have a lot of buzz, but the sound was affected.
@@GeorgeVGuitars the strings will not slide over nut material freely resulting in tuning stability issues. Especially if your playing style includes a lot of bending. For a $3k guitar I was pissed to discover this. Apparently it’s a common issue with LPs.
This guitar you are playing is one of the nicer of 2017, I have the same in honeyburst. The only mod I did was change the saddles to Graphtech White Tusk. For me this guitar win/win offering extra features 😊 with a AAA top❤. The sounds can be produced for sure.
As for the pickups if the owner is looking for something with more bite and mass as for heavier music that can be chroma/zebra color wise why not a Seymour Duncan? Im pretty sure the SH4 and SH6 come in zebra.
I'm not a huge fan of the Burstbucker Pro pickups myself. I changed mine in my Les Paul to a set of Seymour Duncan Distortion Mayhem set and now the guitar sounds way heavier.
