c-5 the same as sh-5????

[lpstudio]

just wondering if the c-5 and the sh-5 are the custom? I can find the sh-5 but not the c-5. I know this is most likley a stupid question but I think I want to go custom for my les paul as my 59b isn't smooth enough for my taste and I have heard great c-5 clips I just want to be sure it is the same pickup

Thanks

The SH-5 is the "Duncan Custom" which is a beefed up PAF. It has ceramic magnets. The C5, which is officially branded the "SH-14 Custom 5", is the SH-5 with alnico 5 magnets.

I looked on more time and found it thanks for the reply. So many pickups to chose from it's a tough call but I have heard some c5 clips I like

It's a good choice for an LP.
