This limited-edition version of the Izabella set uses magnets from my personal stock of vintage sand-cast Alnico 5. Their alloy and casting method closely resemble those used in 1950s Fender production.
 
Compared with contemporary magnets, they provide a particularly lively response, with excellent articulation, definition and playing dynamics. It is a rare opportunity to experience the feel and character of genuine vintage magnets.
 
The set is wax potted and fitted with vintage-style braided cotton leads. It is supplied without RWRP wiring by default; an RWRP middle pickup can be selected for hum cancellation in positions 2 and 4. Vintage magnet stock is limited.
 
Every set is built to order. Before winding your pickups, I may contact you to confirm model-specific choices such as RWRP wiring or wax potting. This personal setup service is included at no extra cost.
