Gibson ES-295 P90s - Alnico II or III?

[Frank1985]

Hey guys, does anyone know whether the stock Gibson pickups in the 295 were alnico ii or iii?

No idea, but I do know that many original P90s got Alnico V.

interesting, i'd have thought it would be on the other end of the spectrum. Hopefully someone will confirm

In the 50s, P90s usually had A5, but A3 was more common on earlier p-90s.
