Tonerider Hot Classics Telecaster Pickup Set, Nickel Cover, Flat Poles, Alnico 3 Magnets, Perfect For Overdriven Tones, 5-Year Warranty

I actually returned these but let me explain: I have a Telecaster Standard 2013 and I replaced the stock pick-ups with these. The Tone-Riders were as good....maybe a shade better but not enough in sound difference to justify the swap over. I went over to a Broadcaster Lindy Fralin set which are a bit thicker - and 4 times as expensive mind you. The reason for the 5 stars is that if you have a cheaper guitar that you want to cheaply upgrade with near boutique quality pick-ups then you absolutely can't do no wrong with these - you will get a set matching or slightly improving Fender stock pick-ups. Top marks to Tone Rider for producing such quality at this price.

Fitted a set of these to my 1983 Tokai BreezySound, and what a difference. The Tokai was already pretty good, but now sounds a lot fuller/beefier. I play it through a Zoom pedal board and my home made Tweed Champ clone - I love playing Jazz/blues (chord melody), but don't like things too smooth. I love the edge that these pickup have brought to my sound, without sounding at all muddy. All in all, I think these are very good value for mutants...

For the price range I was really pleasantly surprised. I used the pickup to replace a faulty one in my MIM Fender Telecaster and I can definitely notice an improvement in the quality of the tone. They are slightly more powerful than the stock Fender pickups but not overwhelmingly so and they still retain that classic Tele twang. For the price I think Tonerider pickups are a real bargain.

Put this pickup into the bridge of my Harley Benton Telecaster. This is a great sounding pickup and a marked improvement of the stock pickups in the guitar. Easy to install with simple instructions. With some basic soldering skills this can be installed in the guitar in a short time.

These are great pickups at an amazing price and British ( although made in China ). I have put these in several clients Telecasters and people are always happy with them, great value and very well made. Check out their website for details and sound samples.

Amazing pickups, well made with a phenomenal tone. Also, customer service that went above and beyond what you might hope for - I wanted to wire and fit these in a slightly unusual way and Tonerider were incredibly helpful.

Ok, but not seeing a great difference to the originals.

Very pleased with these pickups. Used them to upgrade the poor ones fitted to a kit telecaster. Playing clean, the bridge pick up has a nice Tele twang while the neck pickup is nice and mellow. Playing with pickup switch and tone should give pretty much everyone the sound they want. You can get a nice crunchy sound with overdrive too. Very easy to fit. Great value for money. Highly recommended.

Très honnête micro manche pour Télécaster. Après plusieurs essais avec differents micros de marque américaine très connue (SD), c'est le seul à m'avoir donné entière satisfaction, pour un prix très abordable. Excellent service livraison .

I have too many guitars, and some with expensive pickups - I have read that Tonerider pickups are good for the money….I don’t care what they cost, they are just good!! The Hot Classic in both bridge and neck in my Tele partscaster sound as good or better than any single coil I have - need great pickups at a good price…just buy em, you won’t be sorry

vind dit een zeer goed product ze kunnen wat betreft het geluid wel tegen de duurdere fender elementen tipen mooi helder in clean geluid met een telecaster twang erin zeer goed nog bedankt mvg peter

ce type de micro equipe sur j'en crois les forums les guitares Squier dont la qualité est tres variable mais ce n'est pas la faute a ces micros qui pour le prix en neuf est tres correct . On retrouve le son typique d'une telecaster .. Il y a mieux evidemment mais ce n'est pas le meme prix ! PS : en plus le 1er envoi ( non securisé ) n'est jamais arrivé , on m'a renvoye un autre qui lui est bien là chapeau pour le SAV .

Mit Tonerider-PU's kann man einfach nichts falsch machen. Der TRT2 Neck-PU ist mittlerweile der achte Tonerider, den ich in meinen Gitarren einsetze (Singlecoils und Humbucker in Teles, Paulas, FlyingV und Explorer), und ich bin jedesmal vollständig überzeugt. Hier stimmen sowohl die Fertigungsqualität (hochwertige Materialien, Top-Verabeitung, gewachst, äußerst nebengeräuscharm), als auch der Sound (ohne Matsch klar und angenehm durchsetzungsfähig im Mix und/oder Bandgefüge, was allerdings grundsätzlich individuelle Geschmackssache ist). Ganz zu schweigen vom Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis: mal von absoluten HighEnd-Boutique-Produkten abgesehen, können die Toneriders den im Schnitt doppelt so teuren "Standards" der angesagten PU-Herstellern absolut das Wasser reichen und sind diesen häufig sogar deutlich überlegen.
