Probably not the first time that title has appeared. But bare with me. I know the pups aren't really THAT similiar, that they just put the custom custom in the same ballpark because of the magnet, etc.

My question: Is the Evenly Voiced Harmonics ALWAYS better than a Custom-Custom? Or only advisible if you're trying to nail Van Halen's sound?

Should I be thinking about getting an EVH instead of a custom custom, for use in a guitar (humbucker bridge / single coil neck) that would be used for a wide range of music from metallica to van halen to ac/dc to pantera to rage against the machine to the red hot chilli peppers to santana.

Cheers,
Dave
