ALNICO5 .195″ Rod Magnet 10pc 0.671″

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

Alnico 5 is widely favored for its combination of clarity, punch, and fast attack, making it a go-to choice for builders seeking strong articulation without losing classic single-coil character. The 0.671″ length offers slightly increased pole height compared to shorter rods, allowing for refined stagger designs and improved string balance.

Supplied unmagnetized, these rod magnets give builders full control over polarity and final magnet strength during assembly, ensuring consistent results across new builds, rewinds, and production runs.

Builder Notes

These .195″ × 0.671″ Alnico 5 rod magnets are compatible with standard single-coil flatwork and bobbins. Magnetization orientation (north or south up) should be set during final pickup assembly based on the intended pickup polarity and winding direction.

Rod length selection is often used to fine-tune stagger patterns and output balance across strings.

Available in bulk quantities for pickup builders, schools, and repair shops.
