I'm curious about the magnets used in the mini-humbuckers on a 1973 LP Deluxe I bought recently. I asked ChatGPT three times and got three different answers, each as useless as the next. The first time, the reply said Alnico II but I didn't save a screenshot. The other two answers I got--ceramic and Alnico V--are attached. Hooray for AI!!

Does someone here know the answer for certain?

It should be A2.

BTW, you're better off not using AI for anything, just do an Internet search.

Much appreciated!

btw I don't use AI to research anything. History by consensus.
