The magnetic core of the present invention includes a recording and reproduction head core (31) and an erasure head core (32) which is integrally joined in series to the head core (31) for forming guard bands. Magnetic circuits are constructed of metallic magnetic materials (34), (34'), (35) and (35') formed on non-magnetic members (33) and (33'). As a result, a recording medium having high coercive forces can be recorded while the track width is reduced and the fabrication is facilitated with a high accuracy. | |
