How would a UOA5 in a Custom compare to a BroBucker?

[LesPaulRules]

As much as I love a regular Custom, I'm finding the highs just a little harsh with the ceramic mag.

My favorite humbucker for awhile now has been a BroBucker in a Les Paul.
I have a UOA5 and an A8 mag in front of me. The A8 seems like it might be a little much with the Custom wind, but the UOA5 has me thinking, especially after reading Blueman335 mentioning them once or twice, or a million times.

Thanks

Never heard of a "BroBucker" Br0. I have ProBuckers in my Epi LPC Pro though.

Is the BroBucker in Gibbys only? Or Epi too?

The Custom is a hotter wind than the Brobucker. Try the mag swap anyway.

The ("Blueman Signature") UO A5 is warm, warmer than a C8 but not as warm as a CC, and it's got lots of the same A2 'organic' tones and vintage dynamics. C8's are high output and have a tighter, stiffer feel. What's best for you depends on the style of music you're playing.

Brobucker's are fairly bright, and with the stock mag, would have a lot more treble than an UOa5 or C8. UOA5 in a Brobucker? That's what I have in mine.

How's the UOA5 compare to, say, the A3 and A4?
