Baloney Balderdash Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) So I ordered 4 pieces of neodymium magnets that size wise should fit pretty closely to the 4 ceramic magnets that is glued to each side of the pole pieces of the 2 split coil parts of my DeMarzio Model P, P pickup. If I go through with this what should I expect, beside increased output, tone wise? And since these neodymium magnets are supposed to be much stronger than the current original ceramic ones, would it be wiser to only use 2 of the 4 neodymium magnets that I bought, as in just placing 1 neodymium magnet right beneath the pole pieces of each of the P pickup's 2 coils, instead of using all 4 by placing 1 on each side of the pole pieces, as is currently the case with the 4 original ceramic ones? Also if so, will that have influence on the pickup's tone as well? Edited August 24, 2020 by Baloney Balderdash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would use all 4 neo magnets otherwise you are not really exploiying the extra strength of the neo magnets, only caution i would give is to make sure the neo magnets are the right way round, if they are you should feel them trying to pull themselves towards the polepieces, if you have them the wrong way round they will try and push away from the pole pieces, very important you put/glue/stick them on the right way round as forcing them the wrong way round can demagnetise the pickups pole pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
