Do these pickups use AlNiCo or ceramic magnets? Thanks!

Ceramic. Looks to be standard dimensions, so maybe you could swap mags if you want, but I wouldn't. It's pretty nice as it is.

Passive, and they're *amazing*. Put them in an older PRS SE Custom 22 (just like a McCarty) with a .022uf ornage drop and TKS pots (anf all new hardware) and suddenly it's a $2K guitar.

Most likely, no, simply because this is a cheaper humbucker and those stock ones are meant to be similar to gibsons Duncan's. However, this is based on opinion. My experience with this pickup was fairly good but the seymour Duncan's I have blow it out of the water. Dimarzios would produce a good sound for Rock. Being a guitar tech I would suggest you do a lot of research before you sink money into a pickup.

None of the above. I am assuming aluminum. They are non-ferrus (don't come to a magnet) and they are silver in color. -best I got, sorry.

good stainless is NOT magnetic, nor is ceramic. Some cheap SSTL is magnetic, so contact the mfgr.

Using a magnet I can honestly tell you that the walls are magnetic. The base and handles are non magnetic even though they are stainless steel on the outside. China is the world's largest supplier of Aluminum so please recycle OK ?

I cant really tell,Its to close to metal to test with a magnet.I can tell you this,it works and sounds great. It was a perfect fit for my epi les paul special II. You would be hard pressed to beat this saddle at this price. I haven't had a problem with it and I have had it better than a year.

Not sure. I put them in a variety o guitars. At times requires a shave or a shim

No the set I revived are not magnetized. It was a pain holding the screw. Hope this helps

It is a large ceramic or ferrite doughnut magnet, not exactly sure. I am sure they are NOT, "rare earth magnets".

Not even close. The magnet itself is about 10 ounces; the entire magnet structure (magnet, pole pieces, and shorting ring), perhaps 20. But really, weight doesn't matter so much as flux strength. Speaker makers use more advanced magnetic materials than they did in the 70s, so today's modern rare-earth ferrites can be as strong or stronger than the "40 ounce" magnets of yore. A smaller magnet also makes the speaker easier to install (less clearance space needed) and saves weight, which improves the handling and economy of your car! And to expand that answer still further, magnet strength is only part of the picture. There's also the construction of the voice coil (core material, wire gauge and shape, sintering and enameling, etc.), the shape and material of the cone (conic vs. parabolic vs. hyperbolic, paper or polypropylene or fiberglass or metal, isotropic vs. anisotropic, etc., etc.), and the materials and construction of the surround and spider. Really, to get a clearer picture, look at the T-S parameters (Fs, Qts, Vas). Ideally, for a car speaker: Fs--Resonance frequency; lower is better. Qts--The total 'Q factor' or 'peakishness' of that resonance. For most car speakers, operating in a more-or-less 'infinite baffle' configuration, this should be around 0.7 or so. A higher Q (above 1.0) will give "boomy" bass; lower Q (below 0.5 or so) will require a separate box for best results. Vas--The free air equivalent volume. If these speakers are going in your rear deck, then the Vas for each speaker should be no larger than half the volume of your trunk (remember, they're in pairs) or "boomy," sloppy bass will result.

So these must be steel tins, right? Not aluminum since magnets do not stick to aluminum??thanks so much!

yes mine did, but to be sure I would call the manufacturer as I am not sure what type of pickup you are working with

Hello, i do not think that this picks ups are made for acustic guitars, because it needs a electric circuit to works using potenciometers for tone and volumen and pick up selectors. And of corse a wood work

I don't think they are, the spacing between the little back boxes usually vary between acoustic and electric guitars. I recommend looking for tuning pegs that look identical to the ones you currently own, just in case.

first they are coated the same, and really a matter of opinion. I keep the SP on my martin and all the other acoustics I have and made. To me the SP's give a very nice soft bass tone. I use Rickenbacker on all my electrics. Try them both, it not expensive. I've been playing for 45 years and been thru many brands of strings, I've come to enjoy these strings. Remember no two acoustic will sound the same with the same strings, so experiment and enjoy.

...what piezo magnets? I'm not sure what you are asking, and I've repaired a half dozen Fender guitars and built several others.
