donnycraven why are you typing like this?
Is this format really needed?
Why press enter all the time.
Are you writing a poem or haiku?
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
All sentences do not need their own line.
They can be friends with one another.
Like this.
" Hi sentence number eleven." "Bugger off sentence ten."
Oh, I was wrong, never mind.

What I have found through experimentation is not a volume imbalance at all.

I used a standard pickup and tried different magnet heights.
The pickup will sound drastically different each time a different setting is used.
It is mearly a tonality change.
If you have the magnets raised it changes the tonality if you have them flat it changes again.
Staggered created a completely different tonal response again.

From my actual real time experiment I could draw only one conclusion.

Magnet placement determines tonal preference nothing more.
Much in the same way one might prefer a certain adjustment on a humbucker.

Given the limited tonal response of amplification at the time period Leo created his prototypes,
one can assume his magnet placement compensated for these limitations.
It has been discussed that placement was also due to a wound G string.
So it can be concluded that as we have observed, the magnets are adjustable to the players tonal taste.

See Spot run.
See Spot defecate.
See little Donny step in it......

In 2000, when the American Series was introduced, Fender changed the pickups to something more vintage in style.

That's kind of what it really was all about Paris, Nostalgia.
Gibson is also locked into that a lot.
Its a good thing I think because we all want one like the originals, and a bad thing because we all want innovations.

I remember my 76 having flat magnets, that was my first set of single coils.
To me all single coils should be that way, but they haven't always been that way.
I know that now, but didn't when I was 16.
