Best places to buy replacement pickup magnets?

HighGain510 · 08-28-2008, 01:16 PM

I have a few pickups (7's and 6'ers) that I want to buy some replacement magnets for, specifically ceramic magnets in this case, so I can swap them out. Does anyone have suggestions for the best place or places to pick them up from? Thanks!

6-string ones are easy to find--check Ebay for dealers. they're available in all sorts of alloys like Alnico II, V, and VIII, and ceramic.

7-string ones are not easy to find at all. i had to order the ones i did the group-buys on for ss.org members through a wholesaler in quantities of 20-30, and they had to have them custom sawn to length by the factory in China. your best bet on ceramic 7-string magnets is probably to post here and see if anyone who swapped theirs for Alnicos will sell you the ceramics that came out of their pickups.
