What does the BJ mean for this Full Shred?

Bridge pickup wound by MJ would be my guess.

Bridge Full Shred made by the great Maricella Juarez!

That's a nice and early one, too! Likely first-year production

All I can say is, it's niiiiiiice! I used a Full Shred in my 83' LP Studio from 92'-98' when I sold the guitar. It's like revisiting an old friend. Feels familiar and we pick up right where we left off.

I could google it, but I'm pretty sure there's a filter at my work for "BJ pickup."

I'm gonna go get a mouthful of milk and read this again just so I can shoot milk through my nose.

So, the important part...how does it sound?

Re: Got this in the mail today.

a few years ago, I had access to one of the Full Shred prototypes. I have the DCR readings for it around somewhere, but don't hold your breath on me tracking them down any time soon.


here are a few of the shots:

It's sounds tighter on the lows and with more djenty attack than the newer Full Shreds. My other FS had a kind of spongy low end to it. The mids and highs are still softened quite a bit and with a slight fuzzy character which feels great.

Can you peek in and see if the magnet is polished or rough?

Fwiw, I'm the seller, and it measured 14.4 when I metered it just before boxing it up. I didn't peek at the magnet, though, and can't comment how it sounds compared to other FShreds, since it was my first.

Peeked at the magnet. It's polished and beautiful lol!
