They will look the same. No way to tell unless you take them out. If you bought the guitar new, the C5 will be in the bridge, and the Jazz in the neck. I suppose someone could have switched them, but I doubt it. If the neck is WAAAAYYYY louder than the bridge with them adjusted to the proper heights, then they could be reversed.

You should be able to tell that the C5 in the bridge is louder, tighter and more focused.

If you loosen the strings, you should be able to unscrew the pickup mounting ring and slide the pickup assembly out. Flip it over and look at the model # sticker. If its a SH-14, you've got a Custom 5.

+1... A black duncan is a black duncan, and aa black logoed duncan is a black logoed duncan... without flipping it over to see the baseplate, it´s impossible to tell them apart visually

heres now my other problem okay i checked and im thinking the dumbass put the jazz in the bridge with 59 in the neck i no there the same output but on the other hand pinch harmonics on these new pups are way easier than b4 when i had a s demon and distortion trem so that leads me to beleive its a c5 becuz a c5 has way more output which leads too better harmonics so plaese help me again
