I'm in the process of putting together options for a possible partscaster in the next few months, and I want to give it a little bit of a charge...my two current Strats are much more "vintagey", and while I'm not looking to get into metal territory, I do want to have more of a presence with this one. For quite a while, I've had my eyes on the Custom Custom for a bridge. It seems like it will fit the bill of giving me more output but not losing the warmth of the A2. I want it to cut and have presence, but not be shrill either. My style involves the sounds of the late 60s through early 80s...not looking for the "hair metal sounds".
But the one pup that keeps coming back to me is the '78. The thing I can't quite figure out, though, is how it differs from the Custom Custom, and what they have in common. From what I've read, they seem to share lineage, but something significant must separate the two. Does anyone have experience playing these two pickups?
