doublecutjr Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Ok..... Which type of magnet do you like in your guitar, Ceramic or Alnico? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Alnico II. Lower output & sweeter sounding to my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmurray Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Depends what I'm playing, both can sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mick Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Alnico Duh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I've got a '79 "The SG" with ceremics to die for. Walnut body, it's just a killer rock guitar. All the pieces fall in line. "Velvet Brick".... But the '57's in the 339 are sweet. The old Melody Maker has single coils. Saying this, the 498T is bad to the bone. I think I like them all........ Yep.

Dub-T-123 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I like the 498t a lot but I think another pickup may be better for me. If I find that I want the 498t back, I can just throw it back in. Isn't that a beautiful thing about electric guitars? The 490r on the other hand... Wow. Sounds so amazing in my SG.

mcmurray Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yeah the 490/498 combo is great for Rock. Some awesome ACDC like tones can be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector Arcadius Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Different sounds for different uses. In my opinion: Alnico II in Les Pauls for classic tock Ceramics in a Flying V for metal tones Every dilemma in this life, is a pseudo-dilemma. The correct answer is, always: BOTH!

Blackie Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Got SG's with all but the 500 or P-90's.............so the P-90 i am thinking first................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myspace.com/jessenoah Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Alnico 4, bright enough to cut through the mix, but not painfully bright to hurt your ears while soloing way high up the neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I like KFC's original recipe... It's crispy enough, has great flavor but doesn't hurt the roof of your mouth. The crispy is just too rough on your mouth and the spicy is too spicy... What I'm trying to say is it's a matter of taste, everyone will like one or the other for different reasons....

FirstMeasure Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 This thread has me wonderin' what's in my Guitars, now. I don't know what kind of magnet I like best. I know I like Fender/Jensen Blue Back speakers better than Celestions, I wonder if that has anything to do with magnets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Just like Are Nine says - Alnico II. Lower output & sweeter sounding to my ears. Ceramics are like an ice pick in the ear to me, while somebody's nails are on the chalk board. I sold the ones I had for 50 bucks - I would have given them away for free.
