Please give some more information -guitar, amp, and sounds you are going after. This will help us give you better answers.

Just off the top, I like the Jazz and 59 with the custom in the bridge.

Re: Best mathup for the SD custom bridge

My two favorites are the Jazz and AII Pro, both for slightly different reasons and purposes. For what you're saying, the Jazz would do nicely.

Re: Best mathup for the SD custom bridge

what kinda sound are you looking for? fat and warm? bright, cutting, articulate? sweet and chewy? just plain clear?

[SFW]

I'd say either the 59 or if you want more power that Screamin Demon.

APH II pro or a 59n

Re: Best mathup for the SD custom bridge

59n is always a safe bet with the Custom. I currently have an Epi LP that has a Custom in the bridge paired with an APH-2n Slash model in the neck. Good together and also gives me great versatility.

without knowing what type of guitar you have, it's just a guess, but.... considering you are asking "for nice cleans and some leads"...

for a stock pup the Full Shred neck is not bad. keeps things tight lows, articulate in the mids and a bit of bite in the highs. if you are into mag swaps, an A4 works well in this one.

if that has too much drive for you, look at the '59 or the Jazz. the '59 has a bit more drive and the Jazz is a bit cleaner. both are very nice with an A4 mag.

if you are in to mods, the Jazz/'59 hybrid neck with an A4 works wonders.

Yep. The jazz/59 hybrid A4 is an amazing pickup. I like the Jazz screw coil with 59 slug the best. its more like a warmer fuller jazz. its great

Re: Best mathup for the SD custom bridge

For metal, I'd say jazzy McJazzerson, but i don't do metal with a neck pickup. So i use a 59.

Re: Best mathup for the SD custom bridge

There is no correct answer, and we need more info to get you a good response.

59, A2P, Pearly Gates (my preference), and jazz are all solid choices, and a Demon, Distortion Neck, or Full Shred would not be out of the line depending.

Re: Best mathup for the SD custom bridge

I just loaded a Custom and Pearly Gates neck into a guitar last night. I had to raise the height of the Pearly Gates substantially for it to compete with the Custom, but it sure sounded good with it.
