Description
The Custom 5 Trembucker started life as a user-driven mod: swap the ceramic or Alnico 2 magnet in an SH-5 or SH-11 Custom for Alnico 5, and see what happens. What happens is a pickup that keeps the push and output of its siblings but leans more vintage in character, with less compression and a cleaner breakup point. Think a beefed-up ’59 with a fatter low end and more headroom on tap.
- Alnico 5 magnet for a rounder, more vintage-flavored top end
- Higher output than a standard ’59, with deeper bass response
- Clean tones stay rich and full, with extra presence pushing through
- Four-conductor hookup wiring for coil-split and phase options
- Trembucker spacing – built for wider pole spacing on tremolo bridges or post-1999 Gibson bridges
This one’s made for the bridge position, and it covers a lot of ground: pop, country, blues, classic rock, heavy rock. Plug in for gritty crunch or back off the gain and let the cleans bloom. A lot of players pair the Custom 5 with a ’59 in the neck for a convincing shot at that classic P.A.F. pairing, bridge and neck working together instead of fighting each other.
