I love the concept of the "Five Two Strat Stack". The Five Two is my favorite single coil pickup, ever. I would replace every single coil pickup I own with this noiseless version if it were a production pickup. Another one I love is the BG1400. It is noiseless (see a theme I've got?), and powerful, and de-twangs a Tele just enough so it will push a Princeton or Deluxe into overdrive without a pedal (at a reasonable volume). Are there any Custom Shop pickups you wish were not made in the CS anymore? Maybe for price or accessibility?

I've said for a long time that I think SD needs to create an "Elite" series, which are popular Custom Shop models moved to production with a price point that 's just above the regular production line, but nowhere near CS prices. They'd sell like crazy, I swear.
'78
RTM
Crazy 8
Brobucker
High Voltage set
Those would be my starting choices. I'm a little less versed in the SD CS singles, but Mincer's suggestions sounded great!

I just want to point out that they've moved both the Alpha/Omega and Jupiter sets to "production" very shortly after the CS-only offering. Makes no sense that a 20-year old design can't be given the same treatment

I've never heard a BG1400, but they sure are intriguing.

I don't know if it's true or not but I think of the Custom Shop as being Seymour's shop and Seymour Duncan Pickups as being jointly Cathy Duncan's and Seymour's company.
I kind of like certain pickups staying in the Custom Shop and getting a more personal touch. (And roughcast magnets! )

I would want Mustang and Jaguar humbuckers. Might not be that popular but noone makes them so I don't see why not. I adore the tone color of Mustang and Jaguar pickups but I hate single coils. The Ant Mustang stag mag I made is outa sight.The things that you wanted
I bought them for you

i 2nd the Original El Diabolo(/hot Demon) request. I would have tried this PU already if it was a production model.
Same for the S-Deco and maybe the '78.
in my opinion Duncan also needs a bright Tele neck PU as a production model with a nickel silver cover like the Twisted Tele neck or something like their
RHYTHM FOR TELE WITH STRAT TONE
The Seymour Duncan Custom Shop has been creating custom guitar pickups since 1976. If you dream it, we can build it.
they only have brass covered ones now. I have the STR-1 in one guitar and it's a nice change from my brighter neck singles, but come on, that shouldn't be the "brightest" pickup in the tele lineup. Can't imaging how muddy that APTR-1 must be.
Maybe a hot authentic AWG 43 Alnico 3 Broadcaster Bridge wouldn't hurt, too.
But I guess Teles are not the biggest sellers.
