Rough Cast Alnico 8 Magnet Bar for Humbucker & P90

Alnico 8 is the best-known modern alloy, even though its use remains relatively limited compared to Alnico 5. Its composition is as follows: 7% Aluminum, 15% Nickel, 35% Cobalt, 4% Copper, and, more recently, 5% Titanium. It is used as an alternative to ceramic magnets (Ceramic 8 or C8), with which it shares certain characteristics: very high output level, prominent treble, and excellent definition. In terms of magnetic strength, it easily reaches 1500 Gauss. My pickups equipped with Alnico 8 are designed to handle heavy distortion while maintaining clarity and definition. The clean tones are quite dry and tend to distort quickly depending on the pick attack. It's best suited for the bridge pickup, as the neck position isn't ideal for this type of sound. A bridge pickup equipped with an Alnico 8 magnet will pair well with a neck pickup with an Alnico 5 magnet

Each magnet has a unique appearance; the photos do not depict the magnet you will receive. They are for illustrative purposes only.
