Got my magnet - what are the spare parts for?

I received my magnet and about to start working with it, but there is a small bag of what looks to be spare parts in it and I’m wondering if there is any additional assembly required (?).

The bag was actually open, but I think everything is there:

  • two washer-kind of things
  • a spring
  • two more magnets
  • a rod with a screw end

Uhh I only got two rubber bumpers, idk what the rest is… can you show a pic or vid? As far as I know it should be ready for use from the box.

I only got the two black pads :upside_down_face:

This is it as far as I’m aware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUU3gGO8cSY you got some lucky extras lol

It looks like those parts fell out of one side of the magnet. I’ve installed them. It makes more sense now.

This thing doesn’t seem to like Les Pauls, though.

Why not les pauls are not that wide of a neck, can you make a video?

Mine will fit just about any guitar

It fits width-wise, I’m having a hard time keeping it from sliding off. It’s probably because this is my first time using it.

I had the same issue, the rope is what anchors it extra, have a look again at the video instruction Mounting The Magnet – Cracking the Code

I have the same problem with my Les Paul and PRS Singlecut. It doesn’t have much to grip to on the body. If I try to open it to place the phone it slides on the body. I have to do this with 2 hands.
I don’t see any footage in the video of how to tighten/secure the rope. I wondered why I didn’t see videos on Les Pauls. I’m curiuous if this is why. Can someone advise on LP installation technique, please? Thanks much!

Look at this too, filmed with a Les Paul no less!

Yep I used a Les Paul as my main Magnet guitar for years – it’s one of the best guitars for Magnet usage. Take a look at the video, which shows exactly how I set it up, and let us know if you run into issues.

Thanks much for this. My search yielded no LP vids, only the Fender Jag?. I can’t get close to it locking ‘on the body’. But I can get it tight enough to play on the neck heel but down a little from the top of the binding. Onward!
