    I tried a C5 in a basswood Wolfgang, and found it to be too bright for my tastes.

      The C-5 has no less balls, harmonics, or sustain for 80's metal soloing than a JB.
      Like Steve said, it is more open sounding, which will give your lead tone a less compressed sound, but if you've got a good amp that pushes all the frequencies
      and you have plenty of gain, the C-5 will sound great and more balanced than most other Customs. I've got C-5's in LPs, strats, and McCarties, and will soon have
      one in my G&L Invader. Many of those guitars had JB's and are now getting a step up in tone with the C-5. The C-5 may have a slightly brighter top than a JB, but it also has bigger tighter lows, which balances it out. I almost never roll my tone back with
      the C-5.
