    Ooooh... Got any clips..?

    I'm debating a covered SH-14b + SH-1n 8 string set. SD may not have A2 for 8 string so, an A5 might do it.
    Anything is possible, just not always advisable...

      Should be a good set. This might not be your application but you can hear the gloss from the A5 and the wooliness from the A2. I like the results from mixed mags.

        reading through this thread and thought id offer a couple bits of info.

        1 - Double thick mags in A2, A3, A4 and A6 currently having tooling laid down. should be some weeks before we see any parts though

        2 - to magnetise properly you need a magnetic field minimum 3x the coercivity of the magnet in question, alnico 5 being about 650 oersted so 1950 gauss required, so easily done with a decent size neo magnet or electro magnet. a magnetiser that would be used is basically an electromagnet without a centre steel pole section so the pickup would sit inside with a top and bottom steel plate to contain the flux when magentising.

          Here you go, double thick from the manufacturer. No glue... no polarizing or anything else https://www.philadelphialuthiertools.com/bar-magnets/

              Rough cast have their virtues.

                Clint, I don't think the initial investment to make small batches of double-thick magnets would ever break even, due to the non-existing interest in such a product... if you care to check, the persons that showed interest can be counted with the fingers of one hand.

                However, it's your money; you're entitled to use it in any way or form you see fit.

                Good luck!

                  Sadly the only double thick they carry is the narrower Filtertron one. All the humbucker-width mags appear to be standard thickness.
                  I suppose one could fill the gap, or do a sort of "aired" swap using the narrow one...
                  I've heard of guys who used a section of an old A string to de-air DiMarzios.

                    Where can you get alnico spacers these days? Axes R Us used to have them but now when you load the page, after a second or two it switches over to show only ceramics are available.

                    Is there anybody here in the States selling 'em?

Two half wide magnets demagnetized, bonded together, and charged so one coil has one type while the other one has another. I’m experimenting with prs style coil switching with inner and outer coils and id love to be able to experiment with a virtual humbucker that has a completely different sound.
                      That's a cool idea. Not sure it's workable but I'm no expert.

                      You might be able to approximate that kind of effect using two different flanking mags with a relatively weak alnico like A3 or A2 in the center.
