Re: Magnets - anyone changed them in Pearly, A2Pro, or SD?
I've never swapped on these pickups, but I do own a couple of PGb and PG+ pickups.
The difference is that the PG+ is a bit hotter and has an alnico V mag compared to the alnico II on the PGb.
The PG+ has more top end chime, a bit less of the "sizzle", and a tighter, bigger bass. They're not worlds apart, but if you run a hot, dark amp or need more chunk in the palm mutes, go with the PG+ over the PG.
