Single-coil sounding pretty much nails it. Which is weird, as I have owned a Full Shred in the past and don't remember it sounding like that. Honestly, they would have been better off putting in a JB or a Holdsworth.
The neck feels pretty much like my other two Charvel Pro Mod necks. The only real complaint that I have with the neck on this guitar is that it does not have the Luminlay dots on the side. Apparently, those only come on the baked maple necks. Which I think is kinda bullshit. To me, the Charvel necks are some of the nicest in hand necks for me personally.
Honestly, this guitar and my Schector Reaper 6 have been very solid purchases. I swap pickups in my Les Pauls, so doing it to a $1k guitar is nothing. Both guitars are absolute players.
I think Charvels fit that description well. Great necks and for the style of music, pickups are way more important than body wood, imho.
It's not really that far off from a Fender standard C shape.
I find it to be a very fun guitar. It's easy to play and sounds really good. I find that the note separation is much better than on my Les Pauls. Which is great for the music that I play.
It is a mahogany body with a poplar burl top. And to top is an actual piece of wood, and not just a laminate.
