I'm potentially mining for vibranium and unobtanium but I'm looking for something with the touch response of a Seth/PAF but with a bit more kick. I don't want JB like output in this case, I don't want a mid scoop and I especially don't clanky abrasive high end. The guitar in question is an all mahogany hardtail HH super strat with a maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard. It's in the paint phase now but well on the way. I have a Jason Becker set to drop in to it but I'm wondering if it's still going to be too clanky. I'm going to try it regardless, but considering a plan b if it doesn't work out. On the possible choices list is the Custom Custom. Is there anyone out there who has used this in a mahogany super strat (no maple top)? I'm thinking the voice looks good on paper but is this going to be a undefined mess with a darker tone wood? At the same time, the pearly gates is reported to have a smooth non jagged top end.... but it's got some sharp treble for sure based on the one I've got in my 1995 Les Paul.
Can anyone speak to this combo? Of note I have a jazz set to be the neck pickup but if it needs taming I have A2 magnets handy.
