What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Emerald
“Getting a shot of Alnico 5 power, the lows are punchy and the highs are crisp.”
“I hear some players suggest the Emerald bridge highs are really bright.”
On the Seymour Duncan Full Shred (SH-10)
“The Full Shred is a tad lower in output and gets close to the lead sound of a JB.”
Comparing with Seymour Duncan JB Model (SH-4)
“A Full Shred sounds very nice in that guitar, similar to a Strat lead pickup but much hotter and more full sounding on the low end.”
