    fret access and maximum playing comfort ·         22 Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets ·         Custom HSS Alnico Truss Rod Adjustment for easy access ·         Custom Locking Tuners ·         1 Volume + 1 Tone + 5 The catalog specs are accurate: all of them use Alnico 5, and the single coils are true single coils. The singles use Alnico 5 magnets with hand-beveled edges, and I examined the bridge humbucker in depth I swapped the pickups, put a treble bleed mod but left the pots and DP/DT switch and tone cap. 5 way

  • Seymour Duncan Custom Custom (SH-11) Review

    Anyway let’s see the technical data; Seymour Duncan Custom Custom SH11/TB-11 (wound by MJ) Magnet – Alnico Coil) Inductance @100Hz: 3.6611 H (Slug Coil) Measured C: 83 pF (Series) Advertised Resonance Peak: 5.20KHz Under the vision and the ears of Eddie, Duncan presented their know Custom design with an alnico 2 magnet Because of several reasons like alnico II magnet and windings, the CC is not as aggressive as typical CC pairs quite well with humbucker with alnico 2 magnets on the neck; try it with Pearly Gates or Alnico

  • Dimarzio Transition DP255 Review

    K Ohm (Screw Coil) Measured DCR: 5.43 K Ohm (Slug Coil) Inductance @100Hz: 6.51 H (Series) Inductance data) 5/6/6.5/4.5 (official website) Gauss: 520G screw, 550G slug (measured at top center of D&G pole The ADM Bridge features hex-head pole pieces, dual metal spacers, a brass baseplate, and a powerful Alnico 5 bar magnet, without any "Virtual Vintage" slugs. I suspect that the Virtual Vintage slugs are there to compensate for the lack of an Alnico bar magnet

  • Dimarzio Tone Zone (DP155) Review

    The pickup was a Duncan Custom Custom (medium output, very warm sound, Alnico 2 magnet).

  • Tim Mills (Bare Knuckle Pickups) Interview

    Some of your pickups have relatively uncommon magnets like Apache Strat Single set has Alnico III and Mules may have Alnico IV which is my favourite magnet to tame bridge humbuckers with Alnico Vs, if customers use existing stock of Alnico II and III bar due to the cost, later using Alnico IV and eventually Alnico I have found all kinds of Alnico grades in magnetic rod from Fender coils during the ‘50s ranging from very low grade generic Alnico to Alnicos closer to the grades we know as Alnico II, III and V today

  • Seymour Duncan Black Winter Bridge (Blackened Edition) Review – Extreme Metal Humbucker

  • PRS 85/15 “S” Pickup Review – Fat PAF Character or Piece of Garbage

    …And, my measuremens are here; PRS SE 85/15 S Bridge Magnet – Alnico (Probably A2) Advertised DCR: K top center of D&G pole pieces) Ambient Measurement Temperature: 21oC PRS SE 85/15 S Neck Magnet – Alnico My educated guess leans toward Alnico II. The low end feels somewhat spongy, which further reinforces my suspicion of an Alnico II magnet. From the Seymour Duncan side, the Pearly Gates (neck), Alnico II Pro, and ’59 all come to mind as strong
