Hi forum,
I have an SD custom bridge in a mahogany 7-string guitar and I don't like the tone; sounds thin and shrill to my ears. I play metal/prog mostly. I'd like to swap magnets for an alnico 8, however, since it is a 7-string pickup I am modifying, I am not sure whether I can use a standard size a8 magnet or whether I would need a longer size a8 magnet. If the latter, I don't know where I would get a longer size a8 magnet...
Does anyone know whether the magnet in the custom 7-string model is longer than standard size magnets? If so, does anyone know where to find a longer than standard size alnico 8 magnet?
Thanks!
