questions about the WR1 Warrior

[metalheadmilitia]

Hello,

Does anyone own or have playing experience with the WR1 Warrior?

How would describe the overall tone: bright, dark, or middle-of-the-road?

How do you like the Invader/Full Shred pickup set? Can you get good clean tones? What about tight, punchy thrash metal crunch?

Thanks!

Generally, people don't buy WR1's for clean tones , though I've never had a problem. And I own 3 of them. I would say the stock pickups have a lot of low and mid-low band balls. I wouldn't say the bass in the SH-8 Invader is as tight as the SH-6 distortion. I currently have Dimarzio's in all 3 WR1's at the moment. I will eventually put at least one pair of pickups back to stock.

I owned one a few years ago, and think it was when they came with Seymour Duncans in them. Any way, the guitar is a great instrument to play and balances very well.

They still do.

Mid-low frequency band presence.

Dimarzio X2N/Evo neck is pretty stellar thus far... the invader is like a shitty blackout with no mid-highs

Remember too that you can always change the pickups or even add push pull pots if you want clean honed single coil tones. The Warrior is a great guitar and can be versatile if you play around with it like that.
