I think the Alnico V had a more brighter tone, where the Wilkinson had a much warmer feel. Obviously, ones not better than the other as everyone has preferences, but I think I gotta go with the Alnico. Both sound nice, great video!
Hi Lucas, I believe in guitar tone warm means strong on low mid freq & less presence? Or the opposite of bright but not too muddy. And your english just perfect minha amiga. Obrigado.

After this demo and some other I ordered this pickguard at Amazon. Incredible upgrade for my Strat. Deep, ballsy very SRV in slight overdrive. I love them. I put them in my guitar and the only thing I changed was the wire to the output jack; I made it with HQ shielded cable. And I put a treble bleed (Kinmann style) in it. Great value for the price. I will order a second one for my second strat loaded with the Alemo Blues pups. these are a ten time cheaper and sound a ten time better. Lucky for me the are not "Vintage Staggered". Why everyone wants "vintage staggered" is for me a big question. Absolutely useless and disturbing the string balance.
Both are nice pickup sets. The alnico v pickups are sweeter and have a more vintage tone. I have a few strats fitted with the alnico v pickups, including a starcaster strat on which the tone is improved so much. I have both ceramic wilkos (Artist strat) and alnico wilkos (Squier Affinity) and they both sound great, the alnicos edging it. If you're on a budget you can't go wrong with either.
Thanks for the demo gives me a pretty good idea of what both sets of these pick up sound like I’ve actually been looking at both of these sets, since I have numerous GUITARS I’ll probably order a set of each. Being how they’re both so reasonably priced.
Wilk'a have a little more middle and chime the A5 sounds more vintage Strat transparent tone. I like them both actually.. But the A5 are like $20.00 for a set Wilkinson are $75.00 for a set. Just got a best offer for $19.00 for the Chines V's guess I'll take a chance.
Agree with general consensus that these particular alnico pups were brighter, and to my ear, more conventionally ‘Strat-like’. Having said that, I thought the general tone profile (if there’s such a thing) was very similar. Wouldn’t be surprised if some tone knob manipulation on amp and/or guitar could make them sound close enough to not make any difference. Truth is, they both sound like Stratocaster pups, IMO.
The Alnico V (yes, that's the brand name), are hotter than the Wilkinson's (which are ceramic magnets). Once you account for that, the comparison seems pretty even, although I think that with pedals and different amp settings the Wilkinson's would be better as they sounded less muddy to me. Both are decent Asian made p/u's that can be purchased fairly cheap and will get your Strat sounding Stratty? Lol.
Wilkinson sounds lifeless to me no real distinguish eq frequencies between the different positions where as the alnico v sounds "positionally" different as well as "tonally" different thru each different position. . . . hope that makes sense. Also this is all just how and what OUR individual ears hear.
Hi, thanks for the effort to show us the differences between them! What you think about the size of the neck pickup? The Wilkinson isn't misaligned comparing with strings? Do you think that matters? Cheers!
am i to late...? Please tell me which one much creamy..i dont have problem either thiner tone or creamy on clean..but when push with overdrive the one with creamy sound much better all the way.that my opinion..i am on my way to chose one .so please help which one is creamy .that objectif..im not asking which one is better.tq fren.tq for this vdeo.
Hi thanks for checking the video. Unfortunately i don't have the alnico v anymore. I keep the Wilkinson & there is a video demo of it with overdrive in one of my video. Cheers.
Thank you my friend. This Wilkinson is the replica 60's sound which is I believe from Fender strat the 60's & they really did a great job on it. Love both of them but since we can only put one LOL! I pick the Wilkinson. Cheers.

BRO, DID YOU BUY CHINESE OR KOREAN WILKINSON?? DID YOU TRY IT ALREADY?? PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW BECAUSE I MADE A MISTAKE AND BOUGHT CHINESE VERSION (I HAVENT RECEIVED THEM)
Hi, Wilkinson here is ceramic, righ? I have question for alnico v, what kOhm for neck, middle and bridge. Because i have checked of mine they don't have different, all same at DC 6 kOhm.
Hallo bro, Wilkinsonnya ini yg alnico V bukan yg ceramic, output untuk alnico v nya adalah : Neck pickup R: 8.7K Middle pickup R: 9.1K Bridge pickup R: 9.9K Thanks ya udah mampir checking the video. Salam.
Oh, org indonesia rupanya bro. Hehe. Mas mau nanya alnico itukan jenis magnet ya, atau ada jg jd nama merk alnico v?, sy bingung carinya di olshop byk yg keluar alnico v tapi macam harganya dan tertulis alnico V. (disini sy ga bicara seymour, dimarzio), tp mau cari alnico kyk yg divideo bro.. Sy baru beli yg harga 110 per pcs, tp DCnya sy cek sama semua 6 kOhm. Berarti bs diswitch posisinya ya atau ada pembeda posisi selain DC nya bro. Tks
Iya bro hahaha salam kenal ya. Alnico betul jenis magnet, di pickup yg alnico V itu sptnya gk ada merk ya tp malah dia pasang Alnico V gt. Biasanya output lbh bsr untuk di bridge y? baru nemu jg sy kalau outputnya semua sama bro. Enggak ada tulsannya utk neck, middle atau bridge ya?
What brand name was the non Wilkinson pickups? My impression is that the Wilkinson are slightly brighter. think the mid-range to treble is a little bit brighter on the Wilkinson
The name of non Wilkinson is Alnico V!! LOL, is printed on the pickup cover. I have a same thought about Wilkinson has more brighter & more vintage sound? They pretty close aren't they?

Alnico V : More Stratocaster Tone Sound!
Thanks for the comment mas 🙏 Monggo di like & sub y.
In my opinion the Wilkinsons are better overall. You will get better sounds in each different settings. Thanks for the video, good job :D
Thank you! I really appreciate for your commented. Cheers.
@@jazzydog How can I ask you? I need some help for choosing pickups. You have an email?

Thank you for stopping by. Cheers.
Wilkenson gets my vote! Cheers!
Me too :).
I SAW THAT THERE ARE CHINESE AND KOREAN WILKINSON... DID YOU TRY CHINESE???
Maybe it's my speakers and headphones but they're VERY similar. Are the Wilkinsons a bit clearer??
Wilk'a have a little more middle and chime the A5 sounds more vintage Strat transparent tone.
I like them both actually.. But the A5 are like $20.00 for a set Wilkinson are $75.00 for a set.

Thank you bro udah ngajarin YT nya!!
I like the Wilkinson pickups. They have a fuller rounded tone.
Agreed!! Thanks for watching.
Alnico v = fender sound. Wilkinson = gibson sound, if you don't have a lot of money 😀😀😀😀

Wilks are ceramic pups with alnico 5 pole pieces, vs Alnico 5 all parts are Alnico mags
Thanks👍👍
The real difference is on the bridge pickup. Thank you for the comparatif

single coil has a little difference!but i felt humbucker coil has more difference and influence.

It's a matter of taste . The Wilkinson's sounded cleaner . I'm watching and listening on my Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet .
Thank you for watching my friend.
Great job. Prefer al5 myself.

To me the Wilkinson sounds sterile. A lot like ceramic. the alnicov are smoother in mine opinion/. Good demo

I had a hard time listening to your not tuned guitar
Why ? So because his guitar was not tuned right meens it was hard to work out which sounded best?
Really...........

@@jazzydog alnico v is a type of magnet based on strength. I doubt it is the name of a brand of pickup.
I know is type of magnet, this pickups has no other branded name but the Alnico V they printed on the cover so I thought they just use it as a name.
Wait I think i was wrong, I just looked back to the store I bought, it said Baoblade!. My bad!!
Wait, now I confuse, Baoblade is the name of the seller/store.
useful video
see u soon
Thank you, You have a good channel too, I just subbeb it. Cheers.

Which is cheaper because they sound the same!

it's a false comparison ...China versus Korean pickups.... and Wilkinson is the Korean set?
It is not false.
Alnico v its better 👍
