anyone ever swap a magnet out of a single coil sized humbucker? I want to change the crummy ceramic magnet to a alnico 8 on my hot rails, any help or suggestions?

Interesting. Can it be done? quot;We have the technology...quot;

I thought those mags were epoxied on there...

Plus, they're gonna have different dimensions than the standard HB magnets.'

I can imagine its probably possible...but it'd probably be really difficult.

I think they are epoxied on there as I tried in vain to remove the ceramic magnet from my JB jr.

Sounds like a Custom Shop jobber to me. BTW, your in box is full, Unleashthejay.

You never got it off? why?

My hotraills is in my strat right now but when I take them out its experiment time! I think they are exposed, im sure ill have to rewax it or something will see

I got to the point of using a chisel and hammer and was afraid I'd F*** up a perfectly good pickup just to see if the magnet was removeable. With some tapping it seemed unmoveable. YMMV.

Doubtless he'd have to provide the magnet too.

Yup. At Seymour it's A2, A5, ceramic, or the highway...

Your right! I emailed them they said: quot;go awayquot; j/k they really said, quot;Can not be done and we do not have alnico 8 magnet on that size sorryquot; are the alnico mags to big or small? can it be cut? if i do cut it do i have to re-magnitize it? has anyone ever tried to switch the mags out a single coil sized hum?
