  • Seymour Duncan Custom Review: Ceramic Power, Tight Lows & Classic Punch

    Seymour Duncan Custom SH-5 Review Seymour Duncan Custom SH-5 Perhaps my favorite humbucker family from You may already know the Custom 5 and the Custom Custom from my previous reviews. But the Custom reads more like a typical Alnico 5-equipped humbucker: around 340 to 380 Gauss. That’s because the magnet inside the SH-5 is actually the same size as a standard Alnico 5 bar. Beyond that, it works well with most Alnico 5 PAF-style neck pickups that aren’t too mellow.

  • Dimarzio IGNO DP285 Review

    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

  • Interview with Ray Hadiwono from Ray Tone Lab Pickups

    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

  • Lollar High Wind Imperial Bridge Review

    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.

  • Humbucker Modifications: Dimarzio/IBZ and Ibanez V1

    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.

  • Vintage DiMarzio PAF Review – Classic Low-Output Humbucker Tone Explained

    …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.

  • Ibanez V7 on the Bridge: Overwound PAF

    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. Measured DCR: 9,74 K Ohm (Series) Measured DCR: 4,83 K Ohm Slug Coil/4,91 K Ohm Screw Coil Inductance: 5,62H @100Hz (with Alnico 2 magnet) Measured C: -30,1 nF Output: Medium Output Wire Gauge: 42 AWG Pretty

  • Dimarzio Al DiMeola Bridge Review DP202

    tremolo, 25.5” scale, steel frets, Bourns 500K volume and Alpha 500K tone pots, and 009-046 D'Addario Now, read my measuremens here; Dimarzio Al DiMeola Bridge DP202 Magnet – Alnico 5 Advertised DCR: 10.84 kHz Output: 275 Milivolts ( advertised ) EQ (B/M/T) – 8/8/5 (old catalog data) Gauss: 350G screw, 350G It aligns with the standard polished Alnico 5 specification (350G). Additionally, Alnico 2 PAF clones that are not overly bright, might be a great match.

  • Dimarzio Steve Morse Bridge Review DP200

  • Jackson Soloist SLX DX Review – Affordable Shred Machine for Metalheads

    Duncan Designed alnico HB-103N neck and high-output ceramic HB-103B bridge humbucking pickups power this 5 Measured DCR: 7.64 K Ohm (Series) Inductance @100Hz: 3.80 H (Series) Output: Moderate Gauss: 330G Based on catalog information, the neck pickup is supposed to use an Alnico 5 magnet, while the bridge If the neck is indeed Alnico 5, then this is within expectations, but I would have anticipated a slightly Duncan Designed HB-103N That said, the lack of push/pull functionality, coil-splitting, or even a 5-way

  • Duncan Designed HB-103B Review | The Most Underrated OEM Metal Humbucker?

    It uses an Alnico 5 magnet and winding spec based on the revered 1955 - 1960 Gibson P.A.F. Like the HB-101s, these pickups also use Alnico 5 magnets, but have a hotter winding spec, based on the The single-coils uses Alnico pole piece magnets. The Seymour Duncan Distortion has traditionally been rated at 5-6-8 for Bass, Midrange, and Treble. If I had to assign numbers to the HB-103B in front of me, I'd probably call it 5-6-6.5.
