it's a great lead pup and i consider it to be great but it's a bit of a tricky pony.Not everyone likes it.

I use it for the neck, but in bridge i think it sounds really good for riffing cause the bass wont get in your way, and it has a pretty good crunch. I think the opposite of hellion.. i think the full shred doesnt sound as good with leads because of the lack of bass. Depends on if you riff or shred alot i think.

I use it for rythm work and use the '59 for leads similar to Suislide.
I don't play Death metal seriously so I couldn't tell you if it'd work for that or not

Re: Full shred - any good?
id pick a Full shred over any bridge pickup, i play in a metal band, its the most wonderfull pickup ever
, it does clean nicely even through my 5150 but it keeps everything tight and powerfull with low tunings when the gain is turned up, its perfect(much better than the invader imo), and i mean for lead/rhythm....sex . buy it.
edit: just noticed you are in the UK also, how much is it gonna cost you? when i got mine a while back it cost me £90 and despite that being a lot it was worth every penny, i have other seymour duncans and dimarzio's and my bands other guitarist has an invader in his guitar, the full shred is easily my favourite, ive yet to try a dimebucker though, or a Duncan Distortion.
just think about it, my mexican fender strat with floyd rose trem has the full shred pickup installed at the bridge, i would chose it over my dimarzio evo equiped ibanez jem every day of the week
the jem is worth 5 times as much.
EDIT 2 : apparently the guy from Lamb of god uses the full shred (i dont blame him).
ok now im gonna shut up

Re: Full shred - any good?
the Full Shred- i adore the neck unit, the bridge... well there are other more gain friendly models. i have it in my Ibanez S540:
neck- Full Shred
mid- Hot Stack
bridge- Invader
if you solo in the neck under lots of drive, the FS would reward you well- clear individual notes.

More gain friendly than a full shred? I dont really think so. GREAT pickup!!! The neck and bridge are great. They are very underrated in my book. Besides my Bill Lawrence XL-500, they are my favorite pickups for thrash.

Got it for £45 Bazz so I can give it a go.... Funny you should mention Lamb of God, just heard them for the first time the other day.
Thanks for the comments everyone.
