What are the tonal properties of Alnico 6 compared to A5 and A8? Interested in building a pickup using one.

Thanks!

I can't comment on the tonal properties per se, but the vintage Danelectro Lipstick pickups used Alnico 6 bar magnets. They made a huge difference in my Danelectro when I got the correct magnets in the pickups.
