Alnico 2 Classic BRIDGE Zebra

Bought one of these in an attempt to improve the rather anaemic tones from the bridge pickup on my Gibson ES-345... I have invested in some very expensive pickups in the past - but I'd previously installed some Tonerider P.90 pickups to upgrade my Danelectro's and found them to be excellent sounding & surprisingly well made given the low cost compared to many after market types. I gave the Tonerider AC2B-GD Alnico II Classic go... I have to say I was very pleased with the result - much more 'bite' and a bit more gain has made all the difference... The new Tonerider pickup measured just over 8K on my multi-meter compared to the Gibson's rather wimpy (for a bridge) 7.3K & as a result I've a much better balance between the bridge & neck pickup tones... Can't find any negatives with the build or tones so I highly recommend these pickups- especially if you're on a bit of a budget..!

I have bought a few different Tonerider p/ups and all are good sounding at a very reasonable price. I put this on my Gibby LP and it sounded surprisingly bright but enough low end to give a balanced tone. Soundwise quite similar to a real PAF and at around 35quid a steal. If you consider SD and other high end makes charge almost 2 x as much these are great at this price bracket. I have a Strat set of Tonerider City Limits and these are brilliant just as good as Fender Texas specials IMO.

Fitted into a Vintage V100. Sound exelent!! as do the other set of Rock songs which went into an old Hamer.

Very good sound, easy install, 4wire so could split/tap the coils if needed. Easy to replace my epiphone pickups and way better sound

Put this in a Les Paul 50 s tribute it sounds great ! On a par with numerous hand wound Pickups ive tried .
