* ''Alnico V'': scooped midrange and tight low end, lots of bite - good neck pickups for clear leads
* ''Alnico II'': soft and warm - less top end bite - good if above choices are too harsh
That said, I wouldn't write-off a pickup just because it has ___ type of magnet - listen to clips or even better, find a guitar that has one that you can play.
