Favorite Custom Variation

[Jeff5]

Someone may have put something like this up in the past but oh well! What's your favorite Custom variation? Vote!

[Christopher Caruana]

thats too broad of a question. Depends on what the guitar is.......

I like:
the CC in floyded super strats and the Custom or Custom 8 in Les Pauls

[KeeperOS]

Well, I haven't heard any of the custom hybrids really but from the regular Customs, Custom 8 for sure, then again I have it in an Ash Stratty guitar and haven't really tested it in HT or Floyd guitars whereas the Custom 5 and Custom were in those types of guitars respectively. Also haven't tried a Custom Custom (A2).

[SAVAGE DISTORTION]

i have heard three customs, the sh11,TB5 and the C8 i liked the C8 best cuae it seem to have elements of all the other customs

[KeeperOS]

That's how I listened it as well, I liked the Custom a lot but the C8 has that more organic, fuller feel to it. I like it a lot

[Laughing Kookaburra]

I've not used all the pups in the survey, but the ones that I have used are great. However, the C5/59A5b and 59/Jazzn combo in a 93 Hamer Special has ended my bucker search. For now...

[Edgecrusher]

Man this is like being asked "Which pair of boobs is your favorite" Making me pick just one... for all types and applications just no bueno.

[Gearjoneser]

C/59 hybrid is becoming my favorite. I own one of the first ones Bach to Rock made.

I also like the Unoriented Roughcast Custom 5, because it's like having a Dun-Aged C5.

[ErikH]

I've been a fan of the Custom Custom for a long time. It's great in Strats/Superstrats.

[VHTJay]

Custom8, C/59, Custom5 in that order.

[symptom]

considering the ones I've tried:

1. C5
2. UOC5
3. C8

[BloodRose]

Custom 8!!!!!

I agree that its hard to pick one pup without listing a guitar, but... I love the C8 in an explorer, trem loaded axes and love it in many applications.

[jimman]

I still have not had a chance to try and A8 in my custom yet, but through my les paul I am preferring the ceramic custom. I tried an A2 and an A5 and did not prefer either of them to the ceramic. But none of the ones I have tried yet have sounded bad.

[metalmachine]

Big ceramic followed by c8 then sh-5

[allstarrme]

no option for full shred?

[CTN]

from that list, C8, but I'm really digging the Custom4 as well. Very much the same kinda thing as the C8 but lower output, more classic PAF sounding, complete with the growly low-mids

[blueman335]

Of the ones listed, the C8. But I have more UO C5's in my guitars than C8's.

I have one CC (SH-11) intact. All the Customs and C5's (SH-5 and SH-14) have long since incurred mag changes to UOA5's or A8's.

[Guitaraxz]

Of what I have heard the C8, but I can't vote because I have never attempted the Custom /JB hybrid and I love the idea. With a thick magnet.

[dvanburen]

custom/jb hybrid with ceramic or A8 mag. then the custom 8.

C8 is looser and chewier and very pleasing to the ear

the hybrid is more aggressive and has a fuller tone with more lead tone to it.

both are very very nice pickups

Although I still do consider the stock custom "ole reliable"

[WGTP]

What about "Air" Custom with the keeper bar removed?
