I know with all of the humbucker talk, PAFs, magnets, output, etc., etc. that "magnet type" be it A2, A3, A4 or A5 us usually referring to the bar magnet under the coils.
But....what about the pole pieces themselves? How much variation is there in humbucker pole coils (as opposed to the slug coils). The pole magnets define single coil pickups (tele, strat, etc.) mainly A2/3/5's. Just wondered if anyone has thought much about this or has looked into it.
On a side note: How common are A3 bar mags for PAF winds? A3 (and some A2) seems to be the most common poles for tele's and strats these days when looking at some of the best vintage wound stuff available, at least that's what I am noticing.
