Cool! Thanx man, that's very informative. Now that you've brought out the topic of alnico 5 magnets and how they're good with speakers and stuff, I would like to ask- which would be a better guitar pickup? the alnico 5 or the alnico
2? I was trying to figure out what are the stock pikcups that my epi has before i replaced them with classic 57 and classic 57 plus (both alnico 2), so I sent pics and sent it to Gibson. Roger Ball, the customer support dude told me that the stock pickups were a 57 humbucker and a hot humbucker which are both alnico 5. I don't remember how they sound like because I immediately replaced these pickups a week after I got my guitar. Are these alnico 5 pickups suppose to sound better than alnico 2's?
