Non non c'est bien des céramiques qu'on trouve sur les Firebird, à ne pas confondre avec les mini-HB des Les Paul Deluxe ou des Sheraton I qui eux sont en alnico.
C'est possible et je suis désolé si j'ai fait erreur. Néanmoins, il semble que je ne sois pas le seul à me tromper...
Les mini-humbuckers Seymour Duncan supposés être "vintage correct" ont des aimants alnico 5 :

APPLICATION
Vintage-correct replica of classic Firebird® pickup. Great for jazz, blues, rockabilly, classic rock and heavy rock.
DESCRIPTION
The sound is somewhat of a tonal cross between a single-coil and a humbucker. They're brighter and livelier than a full-size humbucker with more "bell tone."
The Alnico 5 magnet and moderate output coil windings make it an authentic tonal reproduction of the great sound of a classic Firebird®. Comes with vintage-style single-conductor hookup cable.

Other features were reverse headstock (with the tuners on the treble side) and "banjo" tuning keys, as well as mini-humbucking pickups. These were not identical to Epiphone mini-humbuckers, having
an alnico bar magnet polepiece in each coil. In contrast, the Epiphone design is a mini-PAF, with a single alnico bar magnet at the pickup's base and six iron polepieces per coil. Some Firebirds from 1965 featured Gibson's single-coil P-90 pickup.

The Firebird mini-humbucker appears outwardly like the mini-humbucker used on other Gibson guitars such as the Les Paul Deluxe, except for its solid cover. Underneath, however, critical differences are revealed. Whereas the standard, Epiphone-derived mini-humbucker is designed like a PAF-type humbucker but narrower, with a bar magnet placed beneath the two coils and in contact with the individual steel pole pieces running through them,
the Firebird pickup is constructed with two alnico bar magnets, positioned one each within the two coils, in a dual-blade-styled design. Using magnetic material within the coil helps to increase a pickup’s definition and treble response; the Firebird pickup is, therefore, a little weaker than the standard PAF-style humbucker or mini-humbucker, and also a lot brighter than either.
