Duncan Full Shred SH-2n in the neck, DiMarzio FRED in the bridge. Volume mismatch?

[JohnnyGuitarCA]

I want to use a Duncan Full Shred SH-10n in the neck, DiMarzio FRED DP153 in the bridge of my Ibanez AS73 (ES-335 style guitar).

Do you think they'll balance volume wise?

Selling my Epi Les Paul Trad Pro IV, so the Ibanez will be my only Gibson style guitar and I don't want to use PAF type pickups in this guitar.

If the Full Shred SH-10n is too hot for the FRED DP153, I'll use a Jazz neck SH-2n, but I really like the throaty tone of the Full Shred SH-10n.

I'm pretty knowledgeable about pickups, but I've never tried this combination. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.​

i havent tried that combo, but i assume it should work fine. the sh10n isnt that far off from a sh2n.

Those should match pretty well output wise. The Fred is a very open and more raw sounding tone where the Full Shred Neck is a more rounded tone. If you like that much variation in tone you'll like it. The best bridge pickup I've ever found to match the Full Shred Neck is one of the older Fender Hot Atomic Humbuckers out of a Highway One HSS Strat. If you could find one of those you'd be amazed how well they pair up.
