So would you reccomend putting a ceramic in a full shred, because I'm definitely going for the custom or full shred.

double thick ceramic or A8 in the full shred.

Custom TB-5. Also, search ibanez sz320, I feel like at least 5 different guys have posted asking for the best metal pickup in an ibanez sz320 within the last year.

I use a bareknuckle warpig, wcr ironman, Duncan iommi and an A8 invader, all in C#/B with no problems, but my sound is kinda sludgy and loose, like The Secret or maybe Carcass. I still say a Custom for tighter "modern" downtuned stuff.

I like the Dimebucker in my all mohogany Washburn Dime 333, but like the Distortion in my maple/alder NT Warlock.

The Dimebucker, Distortion, or Full Shred (with A5 or ceramic magnets) would work well. If any of them sound too harsh, just change the volume pot from 500k to 300k to smooth out the high end.

I have a set of Full Shreds with a BMP-1 in my Les Paul. AMAZING!!!
