What Grade of Ceramic does SD use ???

[lowenzz]

Specifically is the SH-5 Custom. Since I have tried about just all the Alnicos in it, That will be the one for me. I just discovered that there are As many grades of ceramic as alnicos.

So what is the grade of the Ceramic in the Custom, SuperD, Invader, DD, etc?

Are these all the same grade ????

most of the pickups usually have ceramic 8 & i have seen ceramic 5 used as well .
(Custom, SuperD, Invader, DD) im not sure about the custom but the super & the invader probably would have a 8. its more aggressive buzzsaw like
