So I got the distinct pleasure of taking apart a broken fishman rare earth blender pickup today and thought you guys might be as interested as I to see what was inside.

Two tiny bobbins for humbucking action, however I was surprised to see that in now way, shape, or form, did the magnets extend down through the coils. As you can see the center of the bobbins are just a thin little area. The little buttons of rare earth magnet just kinda sit on top in a recess.
