I’m new to this group. Great info here.
Anyone here re-magnetize Supro pickup magnets?
My pickup is weaker in the center than the outside strings.
Thanks,
David

Have you tried adjusting the pickup screw poles?
They should be fairly close to the same height.
I have a Supro I rescued from a pawnshop and it had two strings that were much quieter than the rest.
Adjusting the pole pieces solved the problem.

Have you tried turning one of the magnets over? I had a Valco steel with a similar issue.. turning over one of the magnets cleared it up.
