Parallel Axis stacked humbucker magnets?

[tobereeno]

The magnets on the single-coil spaced Parallel Axis humbucker - I always thought they were alnico 5, but are they ceramic?

I'm not sure what you mean by "single coil spaced parallel axis humbucker," but the Blues Trembucker and Original Trembucker are both A5. The Distortion trembucker is ceramic.

Well I'll be damned...I've never seen or even heard of this pickup. Is this something new, or was I just completely unaware that it existed?

You might want to give Duncan a call or send them an email, they'll be able to tell you for sure.

yup they are ceramic. all the lil type buckers use ceramic magnets. i am under the impression that alnico magnets at that small size are unstable so wont work, hence the use of ceramics
