Alnico 8 was used to increase the output. – Alnico 5), 500K Bourns pot on volume & 250K Push/Pull pot on tone controls, onboard booster within Let’s see the measurements and technical nerdy stuff :) Dimarzio DP285 IGNO Magnet – Alnico 8 Advertised Alnico 8 makes a massive difference. IGNO has been told as “PAF Pro with more power”. Anyway, IGNO has spongier basses ( not as spongy as alnico 2, somewhere between alnico 2 and alnico 5

Patented Airbucker and Virtual Vintage technology permit the use of an Alnico 5 magnet to generate the Anyway, here comes the technical mambo jambo Dimarzio Virtual Hot PAF (DP214) Magnet – Alnico 5 Advertised values measured from the D and G strings) Output: 265 Milivolts (advertised) EQ (B/M/T) – 6,5/6,5/5 If we also recall Steve Blucher mentioning that the Alnico 5 humbuckers equipped with the airbucker technology have a tonality similar to Alnico 2, it could make sense.

with different materials, Our CRUNCH PLAN8T model for example is our high gain humbucker model using alnico label said 43 AWG but after thorough checking its actually 42 AWG, in other time, i got a shipment of Alnico 5 magnets but after checking its gauss level  i found out they were not Alnico 5.   Bought some alnico 2s and after gaussmeter measurements i saw they were too high for A2s. We are offering Humbucker sized P-90 with various kind of magnets combinations, also utilizing more alnico

Vintage/Medium EQ (B/M/T) – 7.0/7.0/6.4 (derived from official website graph, out of 10 instead of 5) The pickup's magnetic flux density is relatively strong for an alnico 2 magnet within. If we consider ~300 gauss as an average reference point, I’d say it’s very much within Alnico 5 territory It actually reminded me, to some extent, of humbuckers with strong Alnico 2 magnets. HWI, actually, made me think of swapping the alnico 2 magnet with a full charged roughcast alnico 5.

each other; dimarzio is wound aroun 8,5K and had a thick ceramic magnet while V1 is wound 10K and had alnico 5 magnet. Hence i took its ceramic magnet out carefully and placed an Alnico 5 that i’d taken from Seymour Duncan So what does it need a fully charged alnico 2, i thought.

…And, my measuremens are here; Vintage Dimarzio PAF DP103 Magnet – Alnico (2 or 5)? Series) Calculated Self Resonance Peak : 8.947kHz Output: 203 Milivolts (advertised) EQ (B/M/T) – 7/6/5 5 magnets, so I should at least mention that as well.   5. If it falls between 600–800, then I’d lean toward Alnico 2.

It actually is a bridge pickup and has around 8,5K dc resistance value and alnico 2 magnet. My approach was swapping the thin ceramic magnet with a roughcast alnico 2 magnet, first. So i took everything out, got the magnet out and put alnico 2 in it.

Additionally, Alnico 2 PAF clones that are not overly bright, might be a great match.

Tonally, it sits closer to a Gibson 490R than a Duncan Alnico II Pro, with more emphasis on warmth and
