A Good Guitar For The Full Shred Set

Usually people buy a guitar and then choose pickups for it.

This time, I specifically want the Full Shred set. So my question is: what would be a great HH/HSH guitar to buy with the specific purpose of housing the Full Shred set? I was thinking basswood body type "Dinky" setup, maybe, but what do y'all think?

My main question: what body wood and fretboard wood could work best with the Full Shred Set? I've grown tired of my Showmaster HH (the neck is bothering me) and might sell it, but I love the Full Shred sound in it.

EDIT: I see the description says medium to warm guitars: so this should mean alder or mahogany body, rosewood fretboard? Or would (quality) basswood work out?

I've played a Basswood/Maple Top/Mahogany neck/Ebony fretboard superstrat that had a Full Shred in the bridge. It worked well. I also hear that a lot of people have had good results with the Full Shred in Ibanez RGs.

I have a Full Shred neck in a Dinky reverse. I'm not certain what the body is, but I think it's basswood. Very thin maple neck, rosewood board, 24 frets, Jackson JT580LP floating trem.

The tone I get from the Full Shred in that guitar is just about my ultimate passive neck humbucker for metal. It cuts without getting shrill. It's fluid but not phlegmy. It's never muddy. It's articulate with a nice singing quality and a little sweetness.

Kramersteen - its beautiful shred wand! No floyd H(fullshred)/neck S! that's what i have i just have to remove middle middle single coil, have been thinking about it for years!

Robert Delahun, Swamp Ash, Maple neck - just finish no fret board, frets are set straight into the wood. Fullshred in the bridge, I've posted clips in the Laney AOR vs DS2000 thread yesterday.
