Any point to having a bottom plate on a dual-rails Tele bridge PU?

The issue with Alnico holding a charge is not it's width, it's the width to length aspect ratio which, with Alnico 2, for instance needs to be better than 1:5. You can have very narrow Alnico magnets hold reasonable charge if the length is right.

Which just goes to prove folks..... sometimes size DOES matter!

That's good to know!
