It’s not only the magnets, there are different types of copper wire as well.

I really wish the standard of my guitar playing warranted such subtle nuances. 😂

[VQindustries-wbwf]

Nice I have a classic 57 and a super 57 on my Gibson SG and the classic 57 pickup sounds amazing and nice and thick and crunchy

[Mguitar]

Cool don't forget to check the polarity!

[garybrady]

Give us more of these types of videos and we will watch them

[pedraw]

wouldn't you need to know the orientation of the magnet that came out and the orientation of the new magnet?

[Lexrockstheblock]

Appreciate it, going to try to flip the pickup in my neck humbucker to see if it actually affects the sound.

[mediumjumbo]

I did this to a Jackson HB'r/ Belcat. A2 was weak. The A5 worked gr8 !

[myekuntz]

That is some of the best information for music gear on the interwebs thank you Phil 😊

[kearneydillon]

This was actually very informative for me. Thanks for that. I always wanted to know what the magnets looked like. (Way different than what I imagined)

[rikkydavidson]

PS check polarity and put more magnets on it super glue on or just put

[PISSEDOFF-MADABOUTIT]

Came up on your video,
Thanks I had no idea!

[DMSProduktions]

PISS easy! Done it a few times myself!

[Bleats_Sinodai]

Meanwhile, my favorite pickups are Chinese "rail" humbuckers lmao (the humbucker sized ones).
Used on both a guitar and a bass.

So... StewMac sells Alnico 2/5 bar magnets for under $20/ea. Is this a worthy $40 upgrade for a pair of ceramic p'ups?

[Epiwater]

I always have this doubts-for import pickups, do they really use alnico 2, 3, 4 or whatever? Or just a pc of alu/ nickel or equivalent n magnetise it.

I think there is a certain ratio of of al, ni and co right? Does those mfg from overseas follows that?

[heathbrinker]

mind blown! so where can you get good magnets like the gibson? cuz that would be cool to do without spending some more cash to get the same result.

[newmexicosaint]

Wow man. I had no clue. Thanks for this brother!

[steveo]

Can you do the same on Bass pickups? Love to get a set of "Tonerider's"

[brianwilson]

What about the wire coil count? Not just about the magnet
