Full shred questions

[sac]

I am looking at installing an FS in the neck of my RG. It has a basswood body and floyd trem. I'm looking for some input as to the sound I can expect from this pickup. I'm looking for a metal and hard rock lead tone. This pickup will be matched with a custom in the bridge and a ? in the single middle position. Any input would be a great help.

th fs in the neck should give you a very focused tone with good clarity and a smooth sound

Can I expect less woofyness from the FS than a 59. It was my understanding that would be th case, but in reading another thread it was mentioned that the FS had to much bass?

I think that the 59 in the neck is more boomy than the FS. The FS will give you articulate, ultra fucused lead tones. It is a mighty shred metal lead pickup rivaled only by the Distortion neck humbucker. If you're looking for metal lead tone, I don't think you'll be disappointed. And if you are, exchange it for a Distortion. Then, if you're still not satisfied, you must not know what true metal tone is.

The FS is one of my favorite neck pups for soloing. Very articulate and perfect for soloing in the neck pos. in my opinion.
