Full Shred and Mahagony

Re: Full Shred and Mahagony

A Full Shred in a mahogany super Strat, especially one with a 24 3/4" scale, is gonna sound nice and tight. It won't sound thin or bass-deficient.

I tried a Full Shred in a Kramer with maple neck-thru construction and ebony fretboard. In that guitar it was a little light in the low end.

In your mahogany guitar, Metaldood, I think it'll sound great.

Full shred was the Vivian Campbell's main pickup in his Kramer days, his Kramers had Mahogany bodies.
if you know the man, you might have an idea of how it will sound.

Think about a custom or maybe a PATB. I hear that the PATB-3 makes a lot of superstrats sound like Les Pauls.

+1 on the custom. I love mine for tight chunky chords. I think it would bring out what you are missing in the strat type set-up.

Well I got the FS today, haven't wired it in yet because I also snagged an Invader. What do you guys think about the Invader, it's a hell of a mean looking pup that's for sure!

I almost forgot that Vivian played on Holy Diver

the Invader will have higher output and a lot more bottom end and low mids. powerful, but not nearly as articulate as the FS

I think you know I just snagged a Kramer Nightswan. I don't know what to expect, but the EQ in the tone chart gave it a 4 on the lows. Not sure if that's enough bottom? Or will the Mahogany body compensate for it, like you're pointing out? I do have an extra 500XL here, but I hope to not have to swap the pups.
