What magnets in PRS SE Soapbar II?

[Cooper Feiner]

Hello,

I have a PRS SE Soapbar II and was wondering what pickups are in it. Has anyone taken these apart to figure out if they are Alnico or Ceramic, and if it is Alnico, does anyone know what type of alnico magnets they use. I really like them and so was looking to see what they are in case I ever need replacements.

Heyo, I don't know for sure but if you have magnets laying around you could take the magnets out of the pickups and measure them up against other magnets of a known material. I had one of these guitars for a couple of years and if I had to guess I'd say Alnico V, but ceramic could certainly be possible as well. What's making you think you'll need replacements? They should last and last, provided that you leave them in the guitar or handle them with care if they ever come out of the guitar.
