Another option to magnatize an aluminum body guitar is to alloy the Aluminum
with Nickel and Cobalt. AlNiCo magnets were developed during WWII and a big
improvement over the laminated soft iron magnets used in magnetos prior to
the development of AlNiCo. One benifit of AlNiCo over ferrous, if you drop a
ferrous magnet, the jolt may cause molecular re-arraingment that weakens the
magnetism. AlNiCo is less prone to loosing magnatism due to shock.

PS, any word on if Beard is going to make a Ceramic or Rare Earth body
instrument?
