If it is a custom shop guitar then they probably aren't stock pickups. They are whatever pickups were ordered on the guitar. Take the pickups off and look to see what is on the back side.

Possibly J100s or J200s.

Re: 88 jackson usa custom pickup

One way to make an educated guess would be to check for evidence that the guitar originally had active electronics. A third knob for midboost or a toggle for the JE-1000, or a battery clip in the control cavity. If so, it probably had the J200s since they were designed for use with an active system. If there's no evidence of active electronics, then it most likely had the J100s if it had Jackson pickups. Like dannyr said though, anything was possible on a custom. FWIW, you're probably better of with whatever pickups are in there now.
