Ceramic full shred pickup.

Whats up everyone i recently ordered a seymour duncan tb 10 and sh 10n full shred set for my esp m ii to replace the emgs it came with stock. Well known models include the jb 59 blackout and full shred series. Seymour duncan is an american producer of active and passive guitar pickups. The sd alpha is a ceramic neck pickup for shredding purposes.

Any reason to drop. I don t like the distortion sounds fizzy to me good for high gain rhythm though. I ve been working on my doubleneck and remembered that at one point for the 12 string neck i was considering swapping the 59 four conductor in the neck position for a full shred very similar pickups according to specs except that the full shred is brighter than the 59. Regarding the full shred it s brighter than a jazz so that means it s really bright.

Dif between distortion vs. The custom is my favorite bridge pickup for a les paul as mentioned it has a high low not scooped just not the most present midrange thing going on which lets the mids of the les paul really shine through really fat sounding just awesome. Anyone use or experience the sd full shred pickup in the neck position. The strong magnets allows the pickup to retain articulation and clarity even when introduced to extreme gain which makes for a great choice for fast paced metal.

I m not eric johnson and the nuances through my setup tend to get muddled. Ceramic magnets are quite strong and as such are normally hotter. I m playing styles that range from rock up to modern metal so i needed something a little bit less compressed with more dynamics that can still get heavy yet not suck for more laid back stuff. The full shred is another pickup that works really well in basswood and you can pair the bridge version with the full shred neck model or the jazz with equally great results.

They are the chief competitors of pickup producers emg and dimarzio. The full shred has a clear high end that cuts through without sounding shrill and it offers a chunky thick metal rhythm tone. They produce pronounced mids and a quick bass response. Because the full shred has such an articulate voice it works brilliantly as a 7 string pickup lending separation and distinction to even the lowest and most distorted riffs.

But ceramic also boosts the lows which is why you rarely see ceramic neck pickups unless they re specifically designed to work that way or are very bright by nature emg 81 60.
