Going off the tone charts and specs and such, they're very very similar. I do enjoy the tone of my Alnico II Pro in the neck slot, it's super nice for clean and the sustain is excellent, but i'm just finding it too dark with gain, I guess you could call it "muddy". And going from the Custom 5 in my bridge, it's just too warm in comparison for them to be a good match together, even if the middle position sounds very good. As for the neck slot itself, I'd like more note seperation - more pick attack. Would a 59' cure this? I do tend to like Alnico 5 overall in just about any application. I'm looking for a slightly brighter tone with more note seperation, but not necessarily Jazz bright. Or would a 59 be much the same mud, (meaning maybe i should just go straight to a Jazz) . I do remember really liking the 59' when I tried it before. Just not sure how it compares to the A2P.
Just curious what your experiences have been. I've never been too much of a neck humbucker guy, I've always obsessed over the details of my bridge humbuckers, and was able to make any neck pickup work since I didn't use them much. Now this is the first time I've tried a search for the perfect neck one as i've been really into playing on my neck position.
