Custom or Custom Custom

Discuss. Need something other than a JB in one of my ProMods - don't want to go Super Distortion again.

You already know what I'm gonna say... Custom!

I've done it. It sounds kick ass in a Pro Mod.

I can throw together a couple of clean/dirty sound bites with my RR1T and Toneport. I have a Custom in the bridge. It's going to sound a little different in the pro-mod I'm sure, but the woods are pretty much the same between the two guitars so it should be ballpark.

Just don't expect talented playing.

Custom. Its like the best kept secret of pickups.

That would be cool.

So far - 3 for Custom, none for CC. This would be going in my 1H ProMod that has Alder/Floyd/Rosewood board. Its got a JB in it now, which is maybe a little to "awwww" in the middle for me. Most of my other guitars are Super Distortion in the bridge.

Love the custom, hate the custom 5 and haven't used the custom custom.

I have a Custom in a PC3 and a Custom Shop piece. My PC3 is tuned down a half step and probably one of my best sounding guitars. The custom shop is alder with a maple fretboard. I love it because it doesn't sound like the JB. I think its smoother overall and doesn't have that upper-mid 'awww' sound. The custom tames that shrill high end.

I had a 7-string Custom that was really cool, never tried the regular 6-string version. I had the Custom 5 in my old alder Charvel Star and didn't like it too much... added bass and treble but a little scooped in the mids. The C5 does sound better in mahogany, though.
The Custom Custom I've never tried, but I heard it's like an EVH sound with less treble and more mids, kind of loose/spongy sounding.

Custom = ceramic magnet.
CC = A2 manget.
C5 = A5 magnet.

What are the part numbers for the Custom, Custom 5 and the Custom Custom?

[Grandturk]

Oh don't start with the TB-11, 15, 17, SH-5, 9 junk. I can't stand using numbers to describe items that have names. That's what turns me off about Ibanez guitars - RG9375839839893920020293 XL.

Crap.

No-brainer - Custom.

[Rich#6]

What are the part numbers for the Custom, Custom 5 and the Custom Custom?

custom-5
custom 5-14
custom custom-11

[SEAN RAF]

custom-5
custom 5-14
custom custom-11

Thanks, that's all I wanted to know. I have two Charvels with the Custom 5 (SH 14) installed, they piss all over the JB's in everything else.

Another vote for the Custom

[Grandturk]

Alright - Custom wins!

Just hit the BIN on a double cream Custom to go in my Fiesta Red ProMod.
