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.

Customer Reviews
Sounds good!
Better than expected, offering clean authentic tones from a bygone era. They work well with clean/dirty modelling tones. A good buy in my opinion
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!
Next day delivery and a really good sounding value option that rivals the bigger brands.
Great sounding pickup, will definitely research more of their range
