Alnico II Pro Mini-Humbuckers

[skh515]

I was reading the Warren Haynes interview on the SD site. He mentioned having Alnico II Pro Mini-Humbuckers in his Firebirds. I've never seen such a pickup on the site. Are these Custom Shop pups?

Re: Alnico II Pro Mini-Humbuckers

all the minis i have seen have been either alnico 5 or ceramic. I would be very interested in the pickups he has

The Antiquity Firebirds are A2. Great sound! Are you sure he's not meaning Firebirds but saying mini's? After all, he uses Firebird guitars.

Gibson calls Firebird pickups minihumbuckers. I don't think he means the ones with adjustable polepieces like the LP Deluxe.

i thought the antiquity II series had all aged alnico 5 magnets and the I series had alnico 2's

Are you sure it's not a misprint? Antiquity firebird pickups are in the Antiquity II line. He could have a standard Antiquity Firebird pickup in there. It could refer to the Antiquity II line.

"My 1964 Firebird III has an Alnico II Pro Mini-Humbucker in the neck, and my 1997 tobacco sunburst Firebird has an Alnico II Pro Mini-Humbucker in the bridge."
