Squier Starfire - What Pickups?

[Semi-hollowbody]

I recently purchased a Squier Starfire hollowbody with 'Duncan Designed' HB pickups. Can anyone tell me about these pickups (tone, output, ohms)?
I believe that these are similar to the ones in the later Squier Master Series guitars.

Thanks for your help!

I'm pretty sure that they're the HB-101 set, modeled after the Duncan '59 models. This is just a guess, but it seems like the only logical answer. All of the other Duncan humbuckers are too hot for hollowbodied guitars.

I would have to disagree sufferinrewind. I have a Brobucker in my Washburn HB32. I wouldn't say to hot at all, probably much better than the others I've tried like a 59 or Pearly Gates. I do prefer hotter pickups though so YMMV.

For kicks I was going to put a Dimebucker or Dimarzio X2N in a Washburn J9, just because I could...
