Title: Anyone know where I can get rough cast short alnico 5 magnets for humbuckers?
Post by: Jennings on June 02, 2015, 06:06:59 am

Anyone know where I can get hold of some short, rough cast alnico 5 bar magnets for making some humbuckers?  I'm trying to get hold of some in as close dimensions to the type that would have been used circa 1960 - 62 in Gibson PAF/PAT types.  I'm based in the UK.  Looks like the dimensions I'm looking for are around:
 
2.371" (60.022mm)
0.491" (12.471mm)
0.121" (3.073mm)
