Modifying long pole toaster

Post by Medicus1963 »

Hi,
It is very hard to get the original 325c58 toasters, so i got a lon pole toaster, but do not want to route my guitar!
Which is the best way to cut the poles, which tool is best to use(dremel?).
are they of a very hard material or tend to split!
Thanks for any help!

Peter

I think it would be a whole lot easier to get the right length magnets.

+1, Apart from the fact they are harder than the dremel tool, any heat generated cutting will kill the magnet.

Yup. And if you can't find pliars, pliers will work, too! 8)

Hello folks,

Maybe i can get an original 325C58 Pickup and don´t have to modify the 7.5k Toaster. If so, i have this Toaster for sale !!
