    So today after being the master plumber of the house, and saving myself 4 hours paying a plumber, i decided i might do a bit of magnet charging. I had a couple of strats to do and Woks tele.

    Heres how simple it is:

    I put 2 Strong Rare Earth Magnets attracting each other in the vise, i mark which side is face out, South and North and mark them.

    Run the pickup slowly through the magnets, the pull is strong, this is the reading after 2 passes, i do 4. To get a south side facing pickup like this, the bottom of the pickup goes to the South Magnet, the Top to the North side

    You reverse the pickup to get a North facing neck pickup for RWRP, top facing south bottom facing North

    Your actually doing the opposite of what you want the magnet polarity to be.

    Nice one Tony.

    I see there are a few comedians who's avatars might need adjusting...

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
