  • Seymour Duncan SSL-1 and SSL-2 Review (Also contains underwound SSL-1 review)

    5 rod magnets and heavy Formvar mag wire with a special wind pattern to produce that bright, glassy, The hand-ground Alnico 5 magnetsand moderate windings (Heavy Formvar wire) yield a bright and punchy 5 magnets of equal length raised above the flatwork. …And, my measuremens are here; Seymour Duncan SSL-1 (STD and Underwound) Magnet – Alnico 5 (vintage staggered But with their strong Alnico 5 magnets, they also pack a solid low end.  

  • Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Humbucker Set Review

    Pearly Gates (SH-PG1) is an Alnico 2 PAF clone. (Slug Coil) Advertised Resonance Peak: 6,50kHz Measured C: -34,5 nF Output: Vintage EQ (B/M/T) – 6/5/ 1,86H (Slug) Advertised Resonance Peak: 7,50kHz Measured C: -40,7 nF Output: Vintage EQ (B/M/T) – 6/5/ Lots of round and spongier bass freqs which are not as tight as ’59 with Alnico 5 magnet in, softer low 5 magnet within instead of Alnico 2.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • Dimarzio Virtual Hot PAF (DP214) Review

    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.

  • 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

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

    …And, my measuremens are here; Vintage Dimarzio PAF DP103 Magnet – Alnico (2 or 5)? Freq w/470pF: 3.2672 KHz Output: 203 Milivolts (advertised) EQ (B/M/T) – 7/6/5 (old catalog data) Gauss 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 Freq w/470pF: 2.5024 KHz Output: 275 Milivolts (advertised) EQ (B/M/T) – 8/8/5 (old catalog data) Gauss 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 DP200 Review: Tone & Measurements

    mahogany neck, dark indian rosewood fretboard, 25” scale, Stewmac Jumbo frets, Sperzel tuners, Donlis DH-53 neck, custom made vintage style single coil on the middle (~5,5Kohms – Alnico 5), 500K Bourns pot on pF (Series) Calculated Self Resonance Peak: 6,872kHz Output: 450 Milivolts (advertised) EQ (B/M/T) – 5/ 8/5 (80s catalogs), 5/7/6.5 (2012 catalog) – 4.5/5.5/7.5/5 (official website) Gauss: 480G screws, 480G I have a custom made single coil in the middle (~5,5Kohms – Alnico 5) and i really liked how my 2nd position

  • 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
