Originally called the Custom Custom Custom, the Custom 5 high output humbucker pickup began life in our Custom Shop as a response to players requesting a brighter, alnico 5 version of the popular Custom Custom humbucker. Bridge position. Nickel cover. The SH-14 Custom 5 pickup was developed by an eager group of contributors to the Seymour Duncan web user group. They replaced the ceramic or Alnico 2 magnet in an SH-5 Custom or SH-11 Custom Custom with an Alnico 5. 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 its still very strong and powerful. Its fuller than an SH-5 with softer highs, more bass, and slightly less output. Its got 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 with a deeper bottom end and expanded output. Rated at 14.4k ohms. Four conductor. Includes wiring diagram and mounting hardware.
