Ceramics are a bit too powerful for normal guitar parts, better for high-gain stuff. IMO not great in the bridge position -too brittle.
Alnico2 are great in the right situation, so Blues-rock, Southern rock 70’s pop etc Think Billy Gibbons.
Alnico5 (my favourites) are great for riff-laden rock/metal and general playing.
I have 4 guitars with Alnico5 bridge pickups, 3 have ceramic neck pickups.
Attributes of Ceramic Magnets
* Economical
* High Hc and Hci compared to Alnico.
* More fragile than other types of magnets, thus manufactured in simple shapes only.
* Require expensive tooling.
* Increased temperature sensitivity.
