When I was building my Warmoth "Partscaster" Strat during the COVID lockdown of 2020, I wanted to experiment with different types of Alnico magnets to find out how they'd sound in my Seymour Duncan JB. This video will compare the following magnets in a variety of clean, crunch, lead and Overdriven lead tones:

Alnico 2 (Polished)
Alnico 5 (Polished)
Alnico 5 (Unoriented, Polished)
Alnico 5 (Roughcast)
Alnico 8 (Polished)

The Signal Chain:
Warmoth Strat w/JB Trembucker
Abasi Pathos/Horizon Devices Precision Drive
PRS Archon 25 w/Emperor 1x12 extension cabinet
Celestion Vintage 30
Audix i5 Dynamic Microphone
Focusrite Scarlett Solo Interface
