  • PUP Identification

    I got this PUP in the 80's. It's been laying around. Anyone can ID it? I don't remember which one this was.

      I think I had that plus others so I could not tell. It looks like the modern one with the pole pieces.

              Mid-'80s Full Shred, likely 1985/86. Large logo baseplate means it can't be any later than 1986/87.

                As manufacturing has changed, there have been changes to materials and production over the years. These aren't huge differences, but some swear they can hear them.

                  The magnet, coil wire, and pole pieces are likely to be slightly different than newer production pickups. Not necessarily in "spec", but the suppliers of these items have definitely changed over the years.

                  While the sonic difference compared to a new one might be subtle, you can rest assured that the pickup you have here will sound exactly as the Full Shred was meant to sound at its introduction.
