Re: SD CUSTOM CUSTOM please shed some light

well heres an update guys,,,
a friend of mine is coming by my place and make me try his guitar with a set of dominions... ill try those with my rig,,,
and im getting a pretty rare discontinued schecter solo 6 classic next week... which comes with a custom custom in the bridge... hehehe so i guess ill get to see whats the score

Unless his dominions are in a CU24 I would listen VERY critically. PRS guitars have a unique midrange character that colors pup selections more than...say a strat. Pups I love in other guitars just don't work in the PRS and vice versa.

you could get the custom custom, try it, if you dont like swap the magnet and you have a custom. Just a thought

Re: SD CUSTOM CUSTOM please shed some light

I'm reading some of these posts on here regarding the CC not doing Metal well and I just shake my head. I just picked up a Solo 6 Custom with a CC and it crushes and does the chugga chugga thing with ease and with tight warmth. My fave pickup in a while and I have several with BK's in them...if you need a clip I just did one with the CC....it sounds killer...don't listen to some of these people though...wow...

Dropped D 9-46 strings...I love my Solo 6....and I usually gravitate to shredder guitars....the tone is just undeniable... I hope you enjoy it.

CC surely has exellent mid but not prominent low, IMO. I'd say Alt8. It has big sound with healthy dose of both low and mid and fluid for solo. Or since you will have CC in near future, you could replace A2 magnet with A8, make it a Custom 8.

Re: SD CUSTOM CUSTOM please shed some light

I have an on again off again relationship with the CC...currently we are off!

The deal with the CC is this...at least to my ears!

Depending on the amp and guitar being used you get a sound that is either fat and warm or a sound that is honky and dull.

Def "Off" for me.
Couldn't get it outta my LP fast enough!
Very "buttery",but no cut/'tude to me.

Went w/SH-5.
