I'm looking into making my own pickups for a guitar i'm building and I have a question about the magnets.
Alnico magnets usually have a warmer sound and ceramic usually has a brighter, clearer sound, right? so would it be possible/practical to use (in a tele pickup design) a mix of ceramic and alnico magnets? Such as ceramic for the bass 3 strings and alnico for the treble 3 strings for a more even tone, or alnico for lows and ceramic for highs for a wide sound?
