I play Marshall based mid-to-high gain amps with a Tele H-H parts caster.
COC, Black Crowes, GNR, Stones, CCR, etc.
What say you??

Re: Custom vs 59/Custom for (Hard) Rock - Go...
I find that the custom works really well for CoC and with an adjustment to the amount of gain I'm sure you can cop a convincing tone. Hell, I use mine for bluesy stuff too.Originally Posted by DreX
I don't mean to be a jerk, but some people bring out my compartmentalized rage, and I think that's their idea of victory. I wouldn't bother asking people to be civil on the internet though, just hide them in my basement and move on. Call the authorities any time you feel it necessary. -

Well, lower output pickups can give you the cleaner tones (stones/Black crowes), but thicker toned pickups struggle to get cleaner. The c/59 would be my suggestion, but thats a large range for 1 pickup to do.Comment

Re: Custom vs 59/Custom for (Hard) Rock - Go...
I've not used the Custom, but I've got a Custom/59 and it kicks ass. I've used it in my Strat in a doom metal band and in my classic rock band and it works awesomely in both situations. If you wire it up to a split (to the 59 coil preferably) and use something vintage to medium output, you'd have all the versatility you'd need.Custom neck-thru strat

Re: Custom vs 59/Custom for (Hard) Rock - Go...
Thx, guys. I'm torn and have both. Since I have high gain amps with lots of preamp gain, I think I'm leaning toward the 59/Custom.Comment

59/custom. Just do it. Especially what you wanna use it for.
