Description
These Alnico 5 .195″ rod magnets are intended for single-coil pickups requiring maximum pole height, commonly used for D and G strings in vintage and custom stagger designs.
The 0.710″ length provides increased magnetic presence and output, helping preserve clarity and balance—especially when used with wound strings or heavier gauges. Alnico 5 delivers strong attack, tight low end, and articulate highs while maintaining classic single-coil character.
Supplied unmagnetized, these rods give builders full control over magnetization orientation and strength during final pickup assembly.
