Hello fellow toners. Sam ash has 20% off tomorrow morning, so I'm going to do my part to support the ecomomy. I'm looking to up grade the bridge pickup in my Ibanez SZ520. The sz has a mahogany body and set neck, a maple cap and rosewood fret and will be played thru a vox ad60 valvetronics head and cabinet. I am looking for a versatile set up that can cover rock/metal as well as blues. Which one of these pickups do you guys think will best serve me and my quest for tonal versatility?

Re: JB or Custom ?
i'd go with the JB in that guitar...it has a bit more of an edge/grit to it than the custom for metal and can still do blues without a problem with some amp, tone and volume tweeking.

I prefer the custom, becasue I like the more defined bass and the more "aggressive" character, but I think that the JB would suit this situation betterZerberus Industries: Where perfection just isn't good enough.

ummm.... I don't really know that's a tough choice!!!!!
The C5 is a good PuP, I've tried it and agree with Nightburst, its good for that Paf-type sound. I should have originally went with the JB because it is an incredibly versatile PuP.
