  • Demagnetization Question

    Sorry if this question sounds dumb.

    A couple of days ago I used a small magnet rod (those cheap stationery set, USD$1 for 3) to pass over my Duncan single coils to test the polarity.

    It was only after this that I realized there might be a degauss problem.

    Now I use a compass.

    But is it likely that those cheap little office magnets (I guess they are rough ceramic magnet, given their price) could demagnetize the Alnico magnets?

    A little research and maybe I over-worried?

    Given the much stronger surface gauss of A5, looks like it takes some pretty forceful rubbing over time to demagnetize A5s with Ceramics?
