Great Hi-Grain Alternative for Solid Body Guitars
Purchased the bridge only in this series to replace equivalent Duncan Designed ACH-1 humbucker with chrome cover in a Greg Bennet Torino. 12Kohm DC resistance is moderately hot for a pickup, in the bridge compared against classic pups like a Seth Lover, '59, or a Duncan Alnico II Pro. This pup has the clarity with it's magnet structure and materials to push the front end of a good tube amp significantly more due to 50% more windings, and not be totally out of balance with neck pups averaging just under 8Kohm. Potting is excellent and it is dead quiet in operation. Nickel silver cover is excellent quality, and the fact that you have the four conductor leads let's you do some coil splitting and alternative hookups. I believe Tonerider as a brand is a step above GFS and Artec, both of which have some excellent value models in their lines, and provide "boutique-style" models at very reasonable prices a working player can afford. I believe after a few hours of playing this pickup, it is best for darker tone woods like mahogany, basswood, etc. when used in solid body designs. This is an excellent and very versatile "hot" bridge humbucker!Read full review...

Perfect Bridge Pickup
Fantastic for bridge position with just enough boost to be a good balance with neck pickup. I installed it in an ES335. There’s a fine line between being powerful enough for the bridge position, but not so powerful that you lose the tonal qualities of the guitar.Read full review...

Does what the name implies... It Rocks!
This pickup is great for classic rock and blues. It sounds like a classic PAF, but has just a little more output to drive a good tube amp (in this case my Friedman BE 100....) It has good harmonic content, and a nice warm, round tone. Another thing I like is that it retains clarity when you crank it up loud. It cleans up real nice too! I am getting some pretty authentic VH tones from it.... Way worth the money...Read full review...
