Overall Rating

Comments: This pickup is an improved upon Full Shred. It has a less sterile high end and is punchier in the mids and bass. It is fast responding and articulate. It's sound is not typical of the other pickups in the Anderson line. It's a bit more focused and has tighter mids.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this pickup a: 8
