Full Shred for Classic Rock????

[unique name]

So I was checking out the seymour duncan artist's page and I noticed both Dickie Betts and Joe Perry are listed as using full shred pickups. Is this an error or just a versatile pickup that's pigeonholed by its name?

It's definitely a misleading name

It sounds to me like the word around town is that is is 2 custom 5 screw coils with hex screws is all. Same wind, but tighter and more articulate.

Actually, this is right! It is a great pickup for all kinds of music, not just 80s shred.

Full Shreds are quite capable in a lot genres, definitely Classic Rock!!! It's kinda funny that I just happened across this thread, I was literally just rocking some old Cream on my Full Shred loaded A.S.A.T.? It was pushing my new Orange head beautifully!!!

Nope. Wouldn't be anywhere near the top of my list for classic rock. I assume we are talking about the bridge pickup, correct?

Works great for damn near anything. The neck version is my favorite neck bucker by a country mile.

+1. As a classic rock/blues player, I usually go the PAF route, most of which are pretty versatile.

Sounds like a pretty nice rig!

For pure classic rock, I wouldn't generally think of the FS, but it does it well. I tend to go for more warmth in my Classic tones, but not everyone likes that.

As purely pickups go - no, not a classic rock pup.

However - in certain guitars…it would be the perfect classic rock pup. [quietly thinks muddy dark Les Paul to himself…]

I have a set in a hard tail rg.

Turning the tone knob down yields some nice classic rock sounds. Bridge or neck.
