Rough-cast Alnico V magnets
The set uses the rough-cast magnet specification used for this anniversary release.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around the JB bridge and Jazz neck pairing, this 2026 anniversary set returns the combination to an early-production component recipe. Rough-cast Alnico V magnets, butyrate bobbins, long-leg baseplates and braided single-conductor lead wire give the familiar pairing a more vintage-directed presentation. In use, the bridge is voiced for punchy midrange drive while the neck is described as warm, detailed and clear for clean parts. The uncovered zebra treatment makes the limited-edition identity visible on the guitar.
