ALNICO2 .195″ Rod Magnet 10pc 0.671″

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

The 0.671″ length is commonly used for bass-side poles or balanced stagger designs, offering slightly increased presence compared to shorter rods while retaining Alnico 2’s soft attack and reduced magnetic pull. This makes them ideal for builders seeking clarity without harshness and improved feel under the strings.

Supplied unmagnetized, these rod magnets allow builders to control polarity and final magnet strength during pickup assembly, ensuring consistent and repeatable results across new builds, rewinds, and restorations.
