# Seymour Duncan Duncan Custom SH-5 Canonical page: https://guitarwiring.app/catalog/seymour-duncan-sh-5-custom The Duncan Custom is a medium-output humbucker with a small ceramic magnet and custom-wound coils. Official copy describes tight lows, an upper-midrange bump for character and crunch, and an airy high end that cuts through heavy distortion while remaining usable for clean tones. The maker says it is especially suited to warmer midrange-forward guitars such as Les Pauls and PRS, and that it pairs with the Jazz or '59 neck and forms half of the '59/Custom Hybrid.
