Abstract
Magnetic pickups with unique tonal properties that incorporate components that are formed from an engineered ferromagnetic material. Monolithic and composite pickup components with ferromagnetic loss properties that are novel within the context of magnetic pickup design are fabricated from materials that comprise granules of ferromagnetic hysteresis materials or soft ferromagnetic materials and an insulating binder. The tone of a pickup is modified by retrofitting the pickup to include a bound granular material.
