Read MoreAlNiCo Magnets and Music Revolution
AlNiCo pickup magnets played a huge part in the development of modern electric guitar sounds. Guitar manufacturers and musicians discovered that even on the same guitar, switching out different AlNiCo alloys resulted in drastically different musical tones. Indeed, the use of certain AlNiCo pickups is responsible for the signature sounds associated with 50s and 60s…
