What happens if you remove the magnet from a pickup?

Last Updated on October 17th, 2019

A magnet is in a pickup basically to magnetize the string. When the string vibrates, it moves the magnetic field within the coil and generates an alternating current. By removing the magnet in a pickup, there will be little residual or no magnetism needed to magnetize the ferrous string. There would be little or no output from the pickup.
