Full Description

The Alnico 2 Classic is a superb humbucker set for guitars that need more warmth, fullness and sustain.

At higher gain settings, the Alnico II Classic really nails the fluid distortion sound of players like Slash, who use the smooth attack and longer sustain of the neck to great effect during solos, and the tighter, fizzier tones available from the bridge for rock rhythm work.

All AC2 pickups are fully wax potted to avoid microphonic feedback, and come with supplied with #3/48 screws, springs and an installation guide.

Available individually or as a set.  Four conductor wiring as standard on all models.

Not slash, but very good!

I wouldn't buy these pickups thinking you will sound exactly like Slash, but to be fair, the description alludes to this. However,if you want some nice pickups that can do some blues and rock very well, then these are brilliant!

Alnico 2 pickups

I have a Les Paul that has an original PAF pickup in the bridge position.
These Tone Rider Alnico 2 pickups are very close to the sound of the late 50s PAFs....without the insane price. Highly recommended.

Top quality at fair prices

In the meantime i‘ve modified three guitars with various Tonerider PU‘s and all of them sound great. But these Alnico 2 classics are the best ones at all. My friend, who own a original Gibson Goldtop Slash LP, and I could’nt hear any deviation in tone between the TR and the Original. And at this price you really cant go wrong. The only thing that could be better in my opinion, but what has absolute no affect on the tone, is that the wiring could be a little stronger.
But all in all, five thumps up!!!!

It’s true

It's true, these pickups are good. I bought the alnico 2 humbuckers to replace the much more expensive seymours in my Epi Les Paul and they do not disappoint. The sound is back to vintage and more authentic than it ever was before, I never really clicked with the Epi despite many mods and eventually wanted to sell it. I made one last attempt with Toneriders. I had already replaced the wiring with Obsidian Wire and when the Toneriders arrived I set the neck pickup to 60's (treble bleed) and the neck to vintage 50's. Man, what a sound! I can't keep my hands off the guitar now. So these will definitely not be my last Toneriders. Besides the good pickups, the customer service of Tonerider is also excellent. They respond very quickly and friendly and are very helpful. That also makes them exceptional. Highly recommended!
