PAF Magnets: AlNiCo II, III, IV & V Compared

Today, we're going to be looking at AlNiCo magnets in PAF-style pickups - using the excellent Wizz Premium Clones as a test bed. What tonal differences do they create? Is there a difference in overall 'output' with the different mags? This is a video I've wanted to make for a good while - I've spoken to various manufacturers to see if I could do it in conjunction with them but all those conversations fizzled out...so I'm going it alone! Back in the day, it was most common to find one of two AlNiCo magnets in PAFs....Alnico 2 (usually in 1957-58) and Alnico 5 (usually 1959-61). But as was the way with many guitar manufacturers from history, there was no hard rule for that....and during the period, Alnico 2, 3, 4 AND 5 magnets were all used in PAFs to some degree. But what difference(s) do the magnets actually make? I've played many PAF replicas with different magnets in, and they do all sound different, but many things go into how a pickup sounds....wire gauge, offset between the coils, winding pattern, covered vs. uncovered, the height of the pickups in your guitar, etc etc. How much is solely down to the magnet choice? Today, I'll be using the Wizz Premium Clone PAFs in my Bailey Curve Special to test this out. Everything will stay exactly the same apart from the magnets...so any changes we do or don't hear are purely the type of magnet inside the pickup during the given excerpt. What do you think? Which set is your favourite? What tonal changes were you hearing? Comment below! Guitar is a Bailey Curve Special w/ Wizz Premium Clone PAFs.
