If the 59 Model bridge humbucker was twice as loud, it would be a Custom
5 (SH-14, TB-14)– scooped mids, even bass & treble, and high
output.
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. It has a nice, full tone, a scooped midrange, and strikes a
nice balance of bass & treble. This even response makes it extremely
versatile and great for all types of music and playing styles.
Match the Custom 5 with the 59 or Jazz neck model humbuckers for a
perfectly balanced setup. Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, the Custom 5
uses an alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor
lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for
squeal-free performance. Available in both standard humbucker or
Trembucker spacing for 6-String, and in a passive mount 7-string
configuration
