ALNICO5 .195″ Pole Magnet 10pc 0.630″

These Alnico 5 .195″ pole magnets, also known as rod magnets, are designed for use in single-coil guitar pickups, including Telecaster and Strat-style designs.

Alnico 5 is widely used for its balance of output, clarity, and dynamic response. In rod magnet applications, it delivers tight low end, articulate highs, and strong attack, making it suitable for both vintage-inspired and modern single-coil pickups.

Supplied unmagnetized, these rod magnets allow builders to control magnetization orientation and final strength during assembly, ensuring consistent results across new builds, rewinds, and production runs.
