Stingray/Sterling/SR5/Bongo pickup pole materials?

[Oldtoe]

Could someone refresh me on the different metal alloys used in the magnets of different models' pickups? Thanks!

I don't know about the new HH or HS Stingrays or Sterlings but I think these are the poles currently:

Stingray - Alnico
Sterling/SR5 - Steel with ceramic magnet on bottom
Bongo - Steel with Neodymium magnet on bottom

>>>I don't know about the new HH or HS Stingrays ...

They still remain alnico

Does that mean that my incoming HH Sterling will have alnico poles?
