Ceramic vs alnico p90.

Wildeman jan 8 2019 5. Ceramic magnets are made of ceramic surprise. However there are fantastic sounding ceramic pickups out there such as the g l mfd pickups as well as our own humbuckers and p90 s. Alnico is nice and warm and great for blues.

I appreciate any and all opinions. You have a 15 it should have nice hot wound alnico 5 p90 s so enjoy. I ve heard 2 s are spongy warm soft and 5s are tighter brighter snappy. By some players the ceramic magnets are given a bad reputation when compared to alnico which is probably due to their association with cheaper instruments.

Im looking at two pups and the only difference is the mags. The old korean epi p90s are ceramic and don t sound as good imo mags are easily changed though. The reason ceramic has a bad rap is probably due to its use. Hey guys i m looking to upgrade my p90 pups and was wondering what you guys like better the alnico 2 or 5.

A lot of people automatically say that alnico is superior to ceramic in pickups. Alnico tends to produce a very musical pickup in most setups. Whereas ceramic is used in metal as it sounds tight loud and cool. You often hear that the sound of a pickup is dominated by the choice of magnet used in its construction.
