Source for thin ceramic bar magnets?

[buddha0709]

Does anyone know where to get ceramic bar magnets in the thinner dimensions (like the ones that come on cheap strat pickups on both sides of the slugs). Are those the same size as the ones that you could put instead of a spacer in your humbucker (like Bare knuckle pickpups does).
Like these:

Mojo sells these.

Ceramic 8 Bar Magnet 2.30" Long
My 2 Cents, Alnico rod magnets, and forbon flatwork are an improvement over plastic bobbins, steel slugs, and ceramic bars.
Tonally, and it is much easier to get the desired amount of wire on the bobbin.
But, maybe you are trying to do something else.

I completely agree with you about using forbon and alnico, I use that almost exclusively.
The thin ceramic bar mags I've used on some singles to make a single coil sized p90. I use a humbucker bobbin, mount it to a forbon strat bottom, pole screws through the humbucker bobbin into a keeper bar with the ceramic mags on both sides, kinda like a p90. The ceramic mags are the only ones I've seen in that dimension though, alnico would certainly be better if I could find it. I know trying to cut a magnet is not an easy task.

You may want to try degaussing the thin ceramics, then charge them back at reduced gauss.
I've done that with some success.
You have to be very careful doing that because the thin Ceramics, are very easy to break, if you clang them around the NEOs.
I know this for sure!
