Installing A2 magnet into '59 bridge pickup

[Ruben0910]

Yet another question for you Les Paul players

Anyone installed a (full strenght A2 magnet) into a SD59 bridge pickup?

Yeah. To me it is pretty much the same as a APH bridge.

My understanding that the situation is a little different for the neck, i only did it with a bridge APH.

I dug it. It's nice and creamy with plenty of midrange and a sweet top end. It was nice, but forgettable. I eventually replaced mine with a PGb.

I have tried A2 and A3 for a 59n, and really liked both but settled on A3. I like my bridge a bit hotter.
