Guitar Pickup Alnico Magnets

There are a few grades of Guitar Pickup Alnico Magnets.Magnets and pickups do not have sounds, a magnet's sonic result in guitar pickups application depends primarily on the strength of the magnet. Ceramic magnets are usually stronger than their Alnico counterpart. The magnets and output, and wire for that matter, can all be used to balance each other out.

Product Description

There are a few grades of Guitar Pickup Alnico Magnets. Alnico II, IV and V type material are used on most guitar pickups. The Alnico II magnets are a bit weaker in terms of magnetic field strength than Alnico IV and V bars. 

Therefore, an Alnico V pickup sounds hotter and more powerful than the same pickup equipped with an Alnico IV or II bar. Alnico II pickups sound cleaner than Alnico V pickups of the same kind. Nevertheless, there are many more parameters that determine the output power and overall tone of a guitar pickup. That's why I compared the same pickup using an Alnico V and Alnico II bar.

As a common belief pickup built with Alnico magnets should tend to sound warmer, cleaner respect to ceramic ones which should be used where power, brightness and a faster attack is needed.

Actually the power of a pickup doesn't only rely on the kind of magnet used to build it but rather to a wide number of factors like the type, diameter and length of the wire used for the bobbin, the bobbin sizes, the height, dimension and magnetization of the magnet, etc. 

Magnets and pickups do not have sounds, a magnet's sonic result in guitar pickups application depends primarily on the strength of the magnet. Ceramic magnets are usually stronger than their Alnico counterpart. The magnets and output, and wire for that matter, can all be used to balance each other out.
