full shred bridge magnet swap

[EmiAba]

Hi guys
have you already tried a magnet swap in a full shred bridge? I have it in a schecter C1 (mahogany body, maple cap and maple neck) and I'm just curious how it sounds with a different magnet (especially with a ceramic one in) and don't have a spare mag to try in it (waiting for a new delivery :smack.
thanks

I have all the magnets you need.

Mario Milan can vouch for the quality.

PM me, if interested.

The full shred bridge is pretty much a custom 5, just with hex poles for better highs, adding a ceramic makes it more like the regular custom, less scooped and better lows. Try a double ceramic for more thick mids and grind.

The only thing better is making a hybrid with a distortion coil and double ceramic magnet

I think he said he has some already coming.

But I'd love to hear about the results of the tests performed.

Re: full shred bridge magnet swap

Here again. I am sorry for the late reply. Got new spare magnets a week or so after the very first post of this thread but had no time to experiment with them and the full shred. Put one of them into the pickup 10 days ago. Played the guitar through my marshall valve state, no pedals or effects between the guitar and the amp. Following my impressions:
1. clean sound: more crystalline and rolling down the volume it cleans quite perfectly. splitting the pickup a standard stratocaster single coil sound comes in mind.
2. the ceramic magnet adds more mids to the full shred giving it, let me say, more character.
3. Under high gain the pickup roars. Good clarity (better definition of notes compared with the A5 version) and the rhythm works on low strings are tight. To be checked with dropped tuning
4. definitively A5 is not my preferred mag :2: and I think I will leave the ceramic magnet into the full shred.
hope this help
