What is the technical specifications for Alnico, Ceramic & misc. magnets?
I would suggest reading Pickup Questions 52 in Vintage Guitar and many of my articles list information about the various magnets and specifications. Magnets can add magic to a pickup and is so important to the tone and output as well as the gauge of magnet wire and number of turns. All have tolerances and when combined to a magic piece of wood can create the many desired tones from Jimi Hendrix, Albert Collins, Jeff Beck, James Burton, Roy Buchanan, Danny Gatton, Eric Clapton, Gary Moore, Paul Kossoff, The Ventures, Arlen Roth, Albert Lee and the many thousands of guitarist s who we ve listened to. They have the tone and the technique to create sounds out of the instrument using their fingers and picks. Also don t forget that the speakers, microphones, earphones and our radio speakers all use magnets to re-create the great tones produced in the studio. Magnets are musical and when combined with electricity can create music so great to our ears.
