What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary
“It's like taking a PAF 36th anniversary and going a bit over the top in the low end and low mids.”
“It is warm and smooth, but it retains clarity and bite.”
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.”
