Default 1 Pickup Pole missing from my new guitar pickup! A Kawai 175 Clone.

I just picked up a neat, project Kawai 175 Clone of a Gibson ES-175. It looks amazing, but there is 1 Pickup Pole missing from the pickup. Where do I find this part?

I have all of the original parts, I just removed them all so I can resolder some parts.

Thanks!

Find your size. They sell pickup pole magnets

Have you tested the electronics and pickups? If the internal coil wiring is damaged you have a whole different problem.

Default a thought

My opinion on things electrical: Swap out the whole pickup for a shiny new one. That's a for-sure repair, as opposed to diagnosing and futzing (technical term for 'messing around') with an old and damaged part only to find more reasons it should be replaced. And the clock doesn't stop running.
