Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, the Alnico 2 Pro humbucker pickups use an alnico 2 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and are wax potted for squeal free operation. For over 25 years Slash has been the champion of this pickup and used them exclusively on Appetite for Destruction, which has gone on to become the biggest selling debut album of all time. Combined with a high gain tube amp, the overdriven tone is expressive and soulful. The Alnico 2 Pro bridge humbucker’s highs are articulate and smooth, and the lows are warm and spongy. The highs sound thick and really sing, while the lows are warm and buttery, giving you a pickup that is very sensitive to pick attack. The Alnico 2 Pro Humbucker neck uses the soft treble attack and low string pull of an alnico 2 bar magnet, combined with a special vintage output coil wind to create a warm, sweet tone that is smooth and full, with tons of natural sustain. Our Alnico 2 Pro humbucker pickups will instantly turn your guitar into a true bluesbreaker. Output – The overall output of a passive pickup is influenced by several design factors: number of turns of wire on the coil(s), strength of the magnet, coil geometry and magnetic circuit geometry.The output of an active pickup is influenced by the same factors but is predominantly determined by the design of the onboard preamp. Looking at this from another point of view, ceramic magnets can be said to produce increased clarity, better note definition and faster response to picking. It is for this reason that many consider ceramic magnets to have a brittle sound, not their gauss strength. This has the effect of decreasing the inductance of the pickup and significantly raising the resonant frequency. The magnets at the lower end of the scale tend to produce a softer attack and a degree of “bloom” to the envelope of the note.Ĭeramic magnets should be considered as an individual case because they do not contain any nickel or iron. As the gauss strength goes up, so does the output. From there in order of ascending strength you have A2, A4, A5, A6, Ceramic and A8. Of the magnets we use, Alnico 3 has the lowest gauss strength. In the case of pickups, the most significant characteristic is the gauss strength, which is a measure of the density of the magnetic field. Magnet – We use several different magnet formulations: Alnico 2, Alnico 3, Alnico 4, Alnico 5, Alnico 6, Alnico 8 and Ceramic 5/8. DCR is often used as a gauge of output because as the turns increase, so does the output, though magnet type and the coil geometry also influence output. The length of the coil form, the number of turns and the gauge of wire all affect the DCR reading. DCR – Short for DC Resistance, is measured in Ohms and is the total resistance of the copper wire wound around a coil form.
