GuitarElectronics.com Seymour Duncan Custom-5 Humbucker

Custom 5 Model - The Custom 5 pickup was developed by replacing the ceramic or Alnico II magnets in an SH-5 Custom or SH-11 Custom Custom with an Alnico V magnet. Tonally, the Custom 5 is a compromise between these two pickups. It offers the optimum balance of warmth, punch, power and clarity.
Compared to the SH-5 and SH-11, the tone is more vintage, with less distortion, but it's still very strong and powerful. It's fuller than an SH-5 with softer highs, more bass, and slightly less output. It's got a great rhythm sound and a beautiful, deep singing lead tone. Clean sounds are rich and full with enhanced presence. Think of the Custom 5 as a higher output SH-1 '59 Model with a deeper bottom end and expanded output. Wound for the bridge position.
