  • Thin Sounding Guitar or Pickup??????

    Guitar: Schecter Reaper 7 (25.5-27in scale)
    Swamp ash body, with maple and walnut 5 piece set-neck
    Playing through a 6505mh

    This guitar has sounded "thin" since the moment I got it. There's certainly bass, but it doesn't sound full. I hated the stock pickups so I replaced them with BKP Impulse.
    While I like many qualities of the pickup, overall clarity and articulation, and I adore the high end sizzle. The pickups still sound thin to me.

    I think this is partially due to the make of my guitar. Would anyone have any recommendations to fix my issue. A pickup that feels full but still has a top end sizzle.

    I was thinking maybe the Custom-5 or the Black Winter. I'll just have to order custom sets for the fanned frets.

    Help is appreciated

    The custom 5 is fairly scooped with a lack of mids. I think you may need something with more mids for a fuller tone.

      Knock on (the) wood

      Is it dull or resonant?

        Maybe a Dimarzio Tone Zone?

          Black Winters.

            Yes, absolutely the Black Winters and not the C5, which has almost no mids. The BW and C5 are pretty opposite EQ-wise, and the extra mids of the BW really helps thin sounding guitars.
