How to change the mags of a single coil?

Ok, swapping a magnet on a HB isn't such a problem, but what about a Single Coil? What would I need to do to change the polarity from north to south? Is it possible to to that?

thanks

It's possible, but not recommended. You will have to push out the poles (very carefully) and push in the new poles. This might short out the pickup. Again, it's not very recommended.

Thanks, Benjy... I thought of doing that with my ne w pups, but now I think it's better not to do...

DON'T DO IT! Can you say "Throw away the non-working single coil" ???? ;o)

Throw away the non-working single coil
Yes I can... as I said, I'm not going to do it anyway
