Still searching for the right guitar pickups to achieve the Holy Grail of guitar sounds? Relax. You've found them.
There's no denying that the guitar pickups found in many guitars, even the bridge humbuckers in expensive guitars can sometimes leave a bit to be desired. The factory fitted guitar bridge pickups are often missing a certain something - Its no great secret that factory fitted bridge pickups are far from perfect, with the same bridge pickup often found in a £200 guitar as that found in a £1000 guitar. And lets face it, a cheap bridge humbucker pickup on a good piece of wood won't do any form of justice.
Well, these Alnico II Classic Humbuckers from Tonerider Pickups could just hold the answer. Tonerider Pickups have one aim: to make the worlds finest sounding pickups, priced for the working musician. You get just the classic sound you require from a guitar pickup, without paying through the nose, teeth and eyes for it!
In the words of Tonerider themselves - A superb guitar pickup set for guitars that need more warmth and more sustain. The earliest Gibson Patent-Applied-For (or 'PAF') humbucker pickups used a range of magnets, but PAF guitar humbuckers made with Alnico II have always held a special place in many a guitarist's heart. If you have ever heard someone describe a PAF pickup as 'flute-like' or more like a single coil than a guitar humbucker pickup - then that's the Alnico II working its magic.
