People complaining about the overdrive hiding the differences are as deaf as a rock. Alnicos have more spank and clarity, while ceramics have more output and girth but lack the clarity and snap that the alnicos have. Great video dude,
the difference for me is you cannot lower the pickup height of ceramic unlice alnico V because the magnet in ceramic pickup is too big it bumps on the guitar , if you have low action you can't lower the ceramic pickup all the way
Not a correct comparison. It is necessary to compare on clean sound or on the light overdrive. Such as in the video overload hides the whole difference. It would be better in the line than from the speakers. Heard very bad
Hey bro firstly nice chops well done! Great playing and good sound! but here is just a thought... maybe lose the effects compression EQ and gain structure for a true comparison of tones that can be produced from of each guitar and pickups... also work the tone and volume knobs in each position.. show some dynamics... and response from pick attack... perhaps use an unbiased naked approach straight into a single channel tube amp rig to really give the listeners a helpful and good solid pickup review (eg old marshall or fender set on the verge of break up and show what the guitar and pickups actually do on their own) Again nice chops well played good sound ... but pickup review is lacking due to the signal manipulation of your rig... ALL of both of the guitars' MOJO is straight up lost in the signal chain. Cheers
Really? Oh it's real easym just grab your multi meter set to ohms, take a reading of both..the highest reading is the bridge. But...I'd also check with seller..they may have sent 2 bridge pickups by mistake. Lastly, if I remember correctly all three measure pretty close together, so having two pickups that measure really close together is not a deal breaker since I can adjust the pickups to compensate..but they should measure in each other's neighborhood. Let me know.
great video btw, i just wanna looking for wilkinson series which is better in long sustain and more twangy, do you have any idea ? wilkinson wvs 60 s alnico SSS series maybe ?
Mod Scientist thank you, you help a lot. New subscriber here. I hope you can review another wilkinson parts or musiclily parts. You helped a lot for us who dont have the budget to get high end parts. Thank you so much.
@@joshedtorres9126 you're most welcone, and welcome the CZcams community. I do review a couple of Wilkinson pickup sets here if you go through my videos. If you have any questions, or want to see something else,.please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for the kind words.
The ceramic has that 80's rock/blue/crunch sound.
Good comparison. They're quite different, but both have their unique sound and value. Thanks very much for making this video.

Great video dude,
Just bought Wilkinson alnico V for strat, really awesome pickups!. Good demo btw. Cheers.
I'm glad! Enjoy them. Good pickups.

Did you use them in a squire? I haven't seen that in a full thickness body. Plenty deep. I even have a pickup plate under mine. Interesting.
-prefer the higher output, fuller sound of the ceramics
Thank you!
Would have been better on a clean setting
Thank you for sharing that..yes..

Thank you for your input
And it's overdrive not overload
The ceramics actually sound pretty good!
I like the power and punch they have.
Actually? 🙂
@@JonasDenVise well I thought so personally :-)
@@Crabfather People tend to underestimate ceramics.. By the way, I just noticed your comment is 2 years old, cheers!
@@JonasDenVise wow, time flies..
both is nice, but i prefer ceramic pickup actualy.
which do you recommend for a lincoln brewster style?
which do you recommend for a David Gilmour style?
Both would do the job easily mate...just alter the EQ and amp settings, then play like these artists (good luck there...lol) and that is the key!!
Hi! Are these the M Series High Output single coils?

perhaps use an unbiased naked approach straight into a single channel tube amp rig to really give the listeners a helpful and good solid pickup review (eg old marshall or fender set on the verge of break up and show what the guitar and pickups actually do on their own)

Thank you. Its an old video.
@@emjay3066 I use effects, sometimes clean, sometimes dirty. All depends. You're right though, to each their own.
I just got these. How can you tell which pickup is for the neck? They both say bridge.

Ceramics are fayaaaa ! Should i buy MiM Fender Standard ceramic pickups ? ou this Wilkinson Ceramic ?
Should mate the ceramic bridge with alnico middle & neck...
Which set could sound close to Yngwie Malmsteen tone?
The Wilkinson Alnico 5 high output set will prob bring you closest
which one ceramic picups?
are the ceramic singles the low gauss ones?
I don't believe so, the Alnico 5 I think are.
I see, I'm looking for demos of the low guass ceramic since they are the only ones available that ship to my address :<
Thanks for replying!
Is this a Vintage strat?
Nope...just Squier strats.
I dont know much about pick ups, but for you, which set could sound close to srv's tone?
Hi Brian, if you're looking at Wilkinson, their vintage series are nice, for SRV tones you'll want the Wilkinson Hot singles. Hope it helps bud.

Ceramic
The guitar with white pickguard has better tones
