full shred in strat

[fusion101]

I'm thinking about sticking a full shred in the bridge of my alder body rosewood fretbody guitar, would it be a good idea. Because i was thinking it would be to bright?

I run the Full Shred in an alomst Identical guitar ... an RGX (alder body, rosewood f/b, maple neck, vintage trem.

I've had no real problems with it after 5 years (3 1/2 in a poplar guitar)

Check out my website, there's an mp3 with me fooling around on the Full Shred

but does it mix well, and does it play well clean

by the way u have some nice neoclassic time music in the there, from one shreeder to another nice job.

Thanks ... hehe a little arpegiating ... I wouldn't exactly call it shredding but hey ... if it lands me a Record Deal with Shrapnel I'm cool with that! ;D

Mixing ... in a band situation (2 guitars, bass, drums) it's great and can show up in the mix really well.

With just me and a drummer I could do with a bit more bass.

Cleans ... are not the greatest, mix the Full Shred with a single coil and it's got a wonderful sound ... but on it's own I find it too compressed.

I use the FS in the bridge of an American Ash strat with a maple fretboard. I love it! Since I use it to record my own music, I've got a little experience in terms of how it mixes, but I am fairly new to using it as I haven't had it intalled too long. I personally think that it really stands out and that if you're playing it at a volume that is even close to the rest of the band, you'll cut through nicely. At least it records that way! I actually like the clean tone very much, but you must understand that I'm a single coil guy ususally. Mixed with the PG in the neck, I think the clean tone is outstanding. When I get a chance I'm going to wire it with a coil tap and see how that goes...

If you love to shred, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this pup!
