If you’re looking for the traditional tonal charteristics of Alnico pickups but with a higher output and a slightly more modern sound, check out our critically acclaimed Alnico Classic PRO™ humbuckers. Alnico Classic PROs are found in nouvo classics like the Epiphone ES-339 PRO, the G-400 PRO, and the Les Paul Traditional PRO™. Alnico Classic PROs are similar to ProBuckers in construction except they use Alnico-V magnets, making them higher in output for enhanced mids and highs.
There are currently in my Epi 339. So, Epiphone says V magnets give you "higher output" and, thus, "enhanced" highs, while Upfront guy says higher output gives you reduced highs.
Supposedly the ACP and Probucker are wound the same and have the same resistance, the only difference between them being the magnets (II for PB and V for ACP). |
Yes, I think the above discussion by Epiphone is in error, especially if as you stated earlier the Classic Pros are Epiphone’s equivalent to Gibson’s ‘57 Classics (again with magnet switch to avoid too close a copy). It could be just a matter of advertising gobily gook.
