I'm trying to get educated on pickups. I don't understand the differences in Single coil/Humbucker; Alnico III, Alnico V, P-90, Samarium Cobalt Noiseless. What's up with just How many windings or wrappings, and Hot Wax dippings? What about ceramic magnets? Just what do they do at the Fender Factory? I just want the best pickup I can find, but looks like I'll need serveral guitars, (not a bad idea). Can anybody help me make up my mind?

Jack, welcome!

Unfortunately, there's just way too much information you are asking here to be answered in a nice, neat, little compendium. You're best bet is to Google. There's all sorts of information all over the internet to be had on virtually all the topics and sub-topics you've mentioned.

I know the Highway 1 Grease Bucket Telecaster comes with Alnico III pickups. Which Telecaster comes with Alnico II pickups?

None of the production models do.
