Love, love, love this guitar!
I recently posted over in the SD forums that I had totally 'rediscovered' the Ceramic Mag Duncan Custom and absolutely love it. I had gone down the magnet swapping rabbit hole and had a great time. But recently swapped the stock ceramic mag back into a Duncan Custom that I had previously swapped for an unoriented, rough cast A5. The UORC A5 is a lot softer, chewier, and more 'organic' sounding than the Ceramic. But the pickup was in a very lightweight, resonant guitar and sounded a bit flubby on the bottom.
I had just watched the deep-dive video with Dave Friedman and Pete Thorn on VH Pickups and was blown away at how much closer all the ceramic mag pickups sounded to that rippin tone on VH-I - especially in the lighter weight, more resonant guitars like the Korina Ibanez Destroyer. So I swapped out the UORC A5 and put the original Ceramic back in it and BOOM - I am totally in love with the guitar and the tone. Try the Ceramic Mag TB-5. You won't be disappointed!!
