Dacious,
Interestingly, Duncan and Fralin have a different approach on how to do the hybrid pickups. The 5/2 Duncans are alnico V on the bass strings (low E, A, D) and softer warmer alnico II on the high strings (G, B hi E). Fralin puts the alnico IIIs on the bass strings (E,A,G) and alnico Vs on the high strings (D,B,E). Alnico IIIs are 5% more bright and 5% stronger in the low mids than alnico Vs.
