Update. The scarcity of CuNiFe has forced me to look at other materials for this project. Alnico, Neodymium and Samarium Cobalt seem to be the most readily available materials in rod form for this application.

Seeing as how the original Wide Range Humbuckers are known for their somewhat dull sound requiring 1 meg pots, what would any of you suggest as a magnet material to bring out a bit more brightness in this pickup design?
