    Default Hybrids of Bridge and Neck sets

    I probably missed this, but don't remember seeing it mentioned.

    The pickups that come in bridge and neck sets might be good for some hybrids using the lower resistance coil from the neck with the higher resistance coil from the Bridge.

    Any of the vintage '59's, Pearly Gates, Seth's etc. The difference in the coils won't be very much, but slightly mis-matched.

    Duncan Distortions, Full Shreds, Original Parallel Axis, Invaders - more significant difference in the coils, like a '59/Custom Hybrid

    Also, neck pickups may be good for use with A8 magnets, since the A8 has big bass and the neck coils have less.

    but the physical neck position has lots of bass which is why they tend to use weaker pups in that position

    I'm sorry, I meant to use the A8 neck pickups in the bridge.
