  • .187 vs .195 polepieces

    Is there any noticeable difference in tone between .187 and .195 diameter polepieces? Which do you use and why do you use them?

    On Strat Pickups with A5 Magnets, I just use the .187.
    That is more or less the standard.
    A5s have plenty of gauss, so I go with the cheaper .187.
    Also the larger you make the magnet diameter, the less bobbin space you have to wind on.
    By the time I lacquer, and tape the magnets, Winding Space gets to be a valuable Commodity!
    If you are going to use A3s they mostly come in the larger .195 size.
