    Default Changing magnets in Gibson pickups.

    Has anyone here ever put an Alnico 5 into a Gibson pickup,
    like a Classic 57 or 498T? Those are Alnico II, right?

    Anyway, I've got a spare Alnico 5, my fave, and a bunch of Gibson pickups in my junk drawer Duncans never see that drawer!

    498T has an alnico 5 magnet. On Gibson website it is referred to as "hot alnico".

    I dunno the magnet in 57.
