I've played an El Diablo. And I've played the SLUG. My favorite pickups are Jim Wagner Ironmans. But I've also loved the El Diablo. One of my favorite versions of the Ironman was with an A8. So I'm thinking of asking Duncan to make me an El Diablo with A8 or Ceramic for varity lol. Anyone else tried anything close to this?

El Diablo with Ceramic or A8?
Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.Tags: None

Is is that easy when the blades of the pickup are the magnets? (I've never tried swapping the magnets in the bobbins on those types.)
I don't know how they constructed the El Diablo, but I'd definitely ask Seymour Duncan before tackling that one.

Typically, no, very much not. Many pickups wound around magnets wind directly on the magnets for space/coil geometry reasons. Great way to nick an interior winding and have a dead pickup. Even when they aren't built that way, the plastic former is often thin, and the pickup can collapse and you can't get a new magnet in, again ruining the pickup.

Honestly just want to see what it would sound like. Compare it to my 22K Wagner Ironman with the same magnets. I asked Wagner if he'd make me a rail version of that pickup and he does not lol. So Duncan may be up.Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Dual exposed A8 mags that close to the strings is going to be a very different animal than the more traditionally structured Ironman pickups with an A8 and standard poles
