yeah, i just read that actually

but thanks :P

i´m gunna go look at the magnet of some single coil i have laying around to see if it´s smaller than the one already there... maybe i can use that instead, eh? might be interesting!

EDIT: ok, so the magnet on that single coil was Epoxy-ed on there, so yeah... also, i found one of my old Powersound pickups, sans wires... i opened it up, and it was alot simpler in construction, no polepiece-holder or anything, and the magnet was the same width and length

However, i did notice differences: the INF3 pickup is alot taller than the PWRSND, making it brighter... so i was thinking maybe if i switcharooed the magnets, maybe some difference would be achieved? :P like instead of tall magnet, i use short magnet... it would still fit the same size in the gap, but it would be more ´´shallow´´ into the pickup...

also, i´m thinking of getting a hold of my buddy´s old epiphone les paul pickups and rob it of it´s nickel cover, and then put that on there, and replace the polepieces to match... but does the pole pieces have anything to say in how it sounds?
