ALNICO2 .195″ Rod Magnet 100pc 0.630″

These Alnico 2 .195″ rod magnets, also known as pole magnets, are designed for single-coil guitar pickups where warmth, smooth attack, and vintage feel are the goal.

The 0.630″ length is a classic choice for treble-side poles or lower-output stagger designs, offering controlled presence without excessive magnetic pull. Paired with Alnico 2’s naturally softer magnetic strength, this length delivers rounded highs, musical mids, and a forgiving dynamic response—ideal for vintage-correct builds and players sensitive to string feel.

Supplied unmagnetized, these rods allow builders to set final polarity and magnet strength during assembly for consistent, repeatable results across builds, rewinds, and restorations.
