A "Custom" That Has Become a Reference for Modern Rock Sounds
The Duncan Custom (model SH-5) is designed to deliver more punch and definition than a vintage humbucker, while maintaining a musical tone that works well both on stage and in the studio. Within the Seymour Duncan range, it stands out as a versatile choice geared towards rock/hard rock, with enough headroom to venture into metal without losing clarity.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
Designed for the bridge position, this humbucker guitar pickup suits players seeking tight rhythms, solos that cut through the mix, and excellent response to heavy distortion. It performs well in classic rock, heavy rock, funk, punk, R&B, metal, and drop tuning styles, notably thanks to its controlled lows and precise upper spectrum.
