Rare Earth Magnets For Guitar Pickups

Rare Earth Magnets For Guitar Pickups

Magnets can be used all throughout your home and office to help keep things organized. We've written many blog articles on similar topics already, so we'll put them all together in one place, as well as share some simple, new ideas. We'll also look at a few ways to safely store your collection of neodymium magnets.

Dual monitors, charging stations, headphones, keyboards, etc all make for a great setup, but the cables can quickly turn into a mess. Use magnets as a cord organizer and keep your cables neat! For one or two smaller cables, our Magnetic Hooks can be a great solution.

Tired of the trash bag always falling into the trashcan? Use magnets! We used some B884 block magnets around the top edge of a steel trashcan to hold the bag tight and prevent it from falling into the can. If your trashcan isn't magnetic, you could sandwich the bag between attracting magnets. Some B884 block magnets on the outside and inside could still work, depending on the thickness of the trash can wall. Some B888PC plastic coated magnets could also work well.

Make A Pickup With Neodymium Magnets

Do you have a steel surface near your gaming setup? If so, magnets are ideal for gaming room design and an easy way to display your games, as well as a game controller holder. This is a simple way to make magnetic gaming room decorations.

We used some Magnetic Hooks to display game cases, which is simple and easy. You could also add a D83 disc magnet to the back of the hook, to create more of a standoff and allow the game to lean further back against the wall.

We use some scrap sheet steel and bent it to make a controller holder. Then, a RX054TP-N52 rubber coated magnet was used to hold the steel holder to the magnetic wall. This setup was strong enough to hold any controller size, and made for a clean display.

Do you have a collection of magnets? If you do, first, kudos to you! You're on your way to being a magnet-geek like the rest of us. But how do you safely store your collection of precious magnets?

Simply pickup a piece of sheet steel from your local hardware store and place your collection of magnets on it, spacing them out a bit. The magnets will stay in place on the steel, rather than attracting to each other.

Use a plastic container to store magnets, like a fishing tackle or jewelry box, that has preinstalled separators. We found some online for a few dollars, and the plastic separators are adjustable.

Plastic isn't magnetic, so the magnets will want to attract to each other, which can sometimes cause a mess. If you have multiple compartments, leave a gap between the different magnets to avoid them attracting to each other. Or, you could cut small steel pieces to glue to the bottom, so that the magnets will stay in place.

For a smaller collection, place the magnets in a steel can, like an Altoids can. This will keep the magnets in place, and contain the field from exiting the can. This method could be good if you plan to travel with magnets on an airplane (always check with your airline on regulations). See our Shielding Materials article.

We always ship our magnets in a box in order to comply with shipping regulations. Many times, we also put rigid foam in the box to keep the magnets in place. You could simply reuse our packaging and store the magnets in the box you receive from K&J Magnetics. Or, if you have multiple parts, store them in smaller boxes, using foam to keep the magnets centered in the box.

How To Choose The Right Acoustic Guitar Pickup

If using multiple magnets for a project, we also suggest keeping the stack of magnets stored safely, taking one magnet off the stack at a time to install. This helps avoid the case of two loose magnets slamming together and Magnets breaking each other . See our How to Separate Strong Magnets article as well.
