Seymour Duncan Five-Two Stratocaster Neck Guitar PickupThe Five Two utilizes sand cast Alnico 5 magnets on the 3 low strings. This adds more definition and punch to the bottom end. Alnico 2 magnets on the 3 high strings give a warm and smooth top end without sacrificing that great Strat "quack." The Five Two answers Strat players' complaints that their low strings sound too mushy while their high strings are too bright.
