MAGFRAG™ S-TYPE PICKUPS

Balanced Warmth, Punch and Chime

Alnico II, IV and V Magnets

The MAGFRAG™ Recipe

In 2017, 3rd Power’s MAGFRAG pickups were the first humbuckers on the market to combine vintage construction methods with unique magnetic chips rather than a standard bar magnet. And while the practice of utilizing different magnetic materials in the construction of single coil electric guitar pickups has been done before, 3P has taken it a step further.

MAGFRAG S-TYPE pickups employ the same three Alnico magnet types (Alnico II, Alnico IV, Alnico V) as MagFRAG humbuckers so your S-Type, HSS, and HSH equipped guitars can sound their best while delivering a consistent performance across all of your instruments.

A UNIQUE SONIC BLUEPRINT

The Perfect Magnet Per String Pair

Alnico II

Solo Strings

The solo strings on the electric guitar (high E and B) create the brightest tone on the instrument. After listening to several magnets, Alnico II sounded the best for these strings. There’s an inherent sweetness and compression to Alnico II that truly complements the solo strings of the electric guitar.

Alnico IV

Melody Strings

The melody strings (G and D) are where the fullness of most chords and solos happen. Of all the magnets we tried, Alnico IV really brings out the magic of the melody with just enough punch, warmth and clarity to enhance the music. But, this magnet wasn’t our favorite choice for the lead or bass strings…

Alnico V

Bass Strings

The bass strings (A and low E) are where the defining energy, grit and punch come from. We found Alnico V the perfect magnet for the bass strings with its inherent high output strength, clarity and somewhat in-your-face “edge” that’s free of excessive low frequency build-up. When you put it all together…
