Burstbucker 3 Magnet Swap

[Rex_Rocker]

Just took apart my 2021 BB1 and was expecting a sandcasted magnet but it is polished with a red stripe. Wondering if it is A5 or A2

If the pickup is stock, it's surely A2.

I know they vary the magnet from year to year. Also, BB's used to be plain enamel at some point, but then, they changed to dyed poly.

My old 498T from the 90's came with a roughcast magnet. I wonder if they're like that nowadays too?

My BB3 was 'sandcasted' or RC on only one side. Only time I have ever seen that.
