kristo Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) I've got a couple of Mudbucker pickups (one from a 90s Epiphone Rivoli, and one from a 2019 Epiphone EBO rewound with Alnico magnets) and I've just noticed the magnets are facing different directions on them. On the Rivoli one the ceramic magnets are in opposite directions, and on the other one the alnico 5 magnets are facing the same direction. Does anyone know the correct way the magnets should be fitted? Does it even matter? Thanks. Edited March 9, 2021 by kristo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goingdownslow Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) I checked mine some while back (original Gibson) and they both face the same way on to the central yolk. I assume this is to induce the same magnetic polarity in the central pole pieces. Edited March 9, 2021 by goingdownslow spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristo Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 That makes sense. So the poles should face each other as so: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
