I have a Charvel custom shop natural series, had a Custom 5 in it which I liked, but wanted to try something different. Went to a Jackson J90C, not enough dynamics, and now a JB with an alnico, which is cool but I realized why they put the custom 5 in this guitar - the roasted mahogany body really makes for a mid-rangy, dense sound and midrange focused pickups aren't the best match IMO. Now I'm thinking the custom 5 was pretty cool actually, but it's too hot for my tastes...given that, the 59 seems like the way to go, but wondering if would a be a little thin sounding compared to the custom 5.
So think scooped pickups with low to medium output. What other options should I look at?
