clint! double thick magnets

[Clint 55]

Couldn't you just glue and clamp two magnets together with like poles together (mags repelling each other)? Then you wouldn't have to remagnetize them.

Apparently it degausses them a bit to force like poles together. jeremy already has a magnetizer so there's no reason to not do it this way. Magnetizing takes like 10 seconds.

Side note is a benefit to making home made double thick mags is you can make hybrids using 2 different alnicos.

Also I don't know how big a difference this makes in terms of audio as I've never tried it, but mutual inductance of two opposite magnetic fields cancels out. At least that is with two coil windings, two opposing magnets with one coil might have some funny rules though.

well, one pair of a2 and one pair of a3 glued up. probably wont have time to magnetize till monday, then double cream double thick goodness goes into the les paul

[jeremy]

sooo i dont like the way these magnatized after being glued. inconsistent even using my big neos. really strong on most of the magnet but tapers off, not as even as im used to seeing. going to dig out my electomagnet and try that.

Or just wire the electromagnet into the guitar and REALLY push the boundaries of science!

You can't open the jaw to remove the magnet, then the lower neo will just power thru the entire alnico and set the poles unevenly. Set the jaw with as little clearance as possible, stick the alnico in, and then rip it out.

i know how to do this, ive done it a ton. i have a hand held gauss meter and always check the field after i charge em and this looked weird

[Clint 55]

I know you know what you're doing, but why would you want to have only 1 of the neos in the vicinity of the alnico when you're done? Do you think the massively powerful neo just ignores the alnico's pole on the opposite side when the lower neo's field probably extends around the entire alnico if you raise the top jaw.

[jeremy]

its a two handed motion of pulling the alnico out of the field at the same time as i slide the neo back. if you saw it, youd get it. the charge was strong though so i can see how this will work when im happy with the charge consistency

I’ve got a pickup with double thick A2 that Clint made.
It’s one coil from a Custom and one from a Distortion and it’s a friggin beast of a pickup.

[Clint 55]

I'm glad you like it.

jeremy, just try magnetizing how I explained for f sake.
