Re: ALNICO 8's
Got a heap of SD Pickups, Custom, JB's, etc....
These magnets are really rough cast and I just don't know what to do with them.

Stick em in some pickups and see how they sound. My JB8 is loud and tight and full of harmonics and actually hotter than my Invader bridge..

Just don't put one in the neck. You'll have string pull problems, Strat-itis and loss of sustain.

Re: ALNICO 8's
A8 was too over-the-top for me in a JB. Its interesting in a Custom. I just installed a custom 8 back into a H/S Tele. I think I like it better than the regular custom or the Custom 5. Its not my favorite pickup though. Its not as extreme as the C5 or CustomCustom in a particular EQ direction, but I think that is why I find it a little boring.

Re: ALNICO 8's
The Custom8 is currently my favorite go to pickup. IMO, has a very similar tonal spectrum of the regular Custom, but adds some warmth and soul. I find it very expressive and goes well in a variety of guitars.. I have one in my Explorer, Charvel, Washburn MG130 (set neck) and couple others I cant think of right now.

Re: ALNICO 8's
My favorite is the '59b, then the Custom and '59/Custom Hybrid. To be paired with an A4 PAFish neck p'up.
HTH,
Depending on what you're playing, practically any bridge p'up.
