    Troy Stetina, who's written a lot of metal method books, uses a Custom in his Jackson. His website (stetina.com) has tons of sound samples from his methods, and most were recorded with the Jackson.

      Custom kicks butt for Metal. My buddy used it in a really good Tharsh/Speed metal band some years back and it sounds awesome. I have it in one of my guitars and I play mostly hardrock/metal and it works great.

            The ceramic magnet and extra winds make the Custom a good choice for metal. The bass and mids are harder, and it will definitely do a great job for palm muted type stuff.

              nice... so it sounds like it kicks a lot of ass.. I like the sound of it. And I'm guessing it'd be good to pair it with a Jazz? that's what I was thinking, but any other ideas would be good. The neck would be used mostly for clean stuff, maybe some old metallica, but it has to have a lot of high end crunch under distortion, and be articulate without being thin.

                So, it HAS that deep PAF tone. I hear some say that the Custom doesn't have that deep character. I like PAF tone but I want high output so that matters for me because I'm about to buy one.

                  PAF On steroids, definitely the perfect description. Not quite as deep or full of character or intelligence, but with upper arms that scare you enough that you don΄t notice
