if you're swapping the magnets by yourself...
don't know if that would sound good, though
probably a little undefined
I think alnico 4 would sound pretty good (like an overwound abraxas)

After going back through the catalog, I will probably try an Abraxas.... or maybe a MQ bridge???  :D

Thanks!

Given the fact that Tim undoubtedly has done ample testing of different magnets on the pickups he sells, the probable reason why this option does not exist is because it doesn't sound good or doesn't work right.

In other words, the existing Alnico II/III/IV options probably all sound better.
