On the Seymour Duncan Custom Five (SH-14)

“Less mids could make the custom five scoopy in the mids but as it is, No; he's definitly not scooped.”

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.”

“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.”
