Hi. I already own a JB/Jazz set in a Mahogany set neck guitar. For a second similar instrument, I'm looking for a lower output set with a different voice (a bit more relaxed in the mids and in the bass frequencies) that still remains clear, with great note separation though the gain spectrum. I've been considering these two combitations, but your suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

59/Custom 5 or Full Shred set for a Mahogany set neck guitar?

Full Shred has more treble than anything, while you will have a tight louder bass with the Hybrid.Administrator of the SDUGF

The Saturday Night Specials I really like in Mahogany. Very clean and articulate great cleans in a warmer guitar.
Also may want to Look at the Perpetual Burn in the bridge as it is spot on what you describe in comparison to a JB and maybe something like a Whole Lotta Humbucker or the Slash neck. I'm running 2 one with singles and one with a Sentient in the neck. Love the PB with singles split but it's not balancing to my ear with the Sentient and needs something with a little softer attack and more sweet. The Hybrid I also love but it packs a big mid wallop so be aware.Guitars
Kiesel DC 135, Carvin AE 185, DC 400, DC 127 KOA, DC 127 Quilt Purple, X220C, PRS Custom 24, Washburn USA MG 122 proto , MG 102, MG 120.
Amps PRS Archon 50 head, MT 15, Mesa Subway Rocket, DC-5, Carvin X50B Hot Rod Mod head, Zinky 25watt Blue Velvet combo.

The 59, Custom, Hybrids, or Custom 5 will all be relaxed mids, but bass thumpers.
Full shred set does what you want.
Jolly might recommend the Jazz set, neck and bridge.Originally posted by Bad City

If you like the Jazz in the neck you might enjoy the Full Shred neck even more, possibly my favourite neck humbucker. I have it paired with a TB-5 in a mahogany FR guitar. To my ears it's a very versatile combo for high gain, they're both sitting a bit lower than average - ~3mm on low E and ~2.5mm on high E. I'm using a TS in front of the amp.
