I just found this out myself! According to MANY reliable sources, the screws are just height adjustable versions of the flat magnets on the other side. Both are magnets, though some people say the flat ones "have more mass". So, for example, Synyster Gates' Seymour Duncan SH-8 Invader pickups have hex-screws on both sides, so they're all magnets, and they're all adjustable.

Do magnets attract all objects?

No. Magnets can pull other magnets towards them, or push them away from them. If a magnet's north pole points towards another magnets north pole (or a south pole towards a south pole), they will repel, instead of pulling them towards them. On the other hand, if a magnet is brought near a piece of iron that is not already magnetic, it will induce magnetism in the iron, in such a way that the two magnets will attract one another. Yet on the other hand, magnets have hardly any influence on most substances.


What is most likely to be attracted by a magnet?

What is true for magnets but not for charges?

Magnets have north and south poles, whereas charges do not have distinct poles. Additionally, magnets can attract or repel each other based on their alignment, while charges can only attract each other. Finally, magnets can retain their magnetism even when not in contact with another magnet, whereas charges require contact to interact.
