This is a question that I am asked quite often; "What is the difference in tone between magnetic and non-magnetic steel?" A better question would be; "What is the difference in tone between stainless steel and cold rolled steel?" That is when tone change really occurs, when you use a different material. The non-magnetic stainless steel bridge-plate adds to the twang factor, adding highs, mids, lows, and notching out harsh mids around 3k, while adding harmonics and acoustical sustain. The magnetic cold rolled steel bridge-plate balances out equally, giving the bridge-plate warmth and twang, with highs, mids and lows being much more equal in value.

 

The guitar solos are played by Dale Clark.
