Want a Nashville set that feels just a bit more like a Strat? Our Nashville 60’s set is for you. Based around our 60’s-inspired Alnico 5 Vintage Plus set, this set adds a crisp, fat Strat middle pickup. Great for going between Strat chime and tele punch!
Reverse wound, reverse polarity is standard on all sets – so you get full humcancelling operation in positions 2 and 4. All screws and latex springs are provided.
NOTE: The bridge pickup in this set has a reverse wind and polarity from our other bridge pickups. This should be taken into account if you're mixing and matching other pickups.

Customer Reviews
I replaced the pickups in my squier paranormal nashville strat with these and I am super impressed. The stock pickups were a little muddy and dark but these are more stratty, clear, and brighter (but not bright). It really helps the in between neck and middle pickup get more of the little wing and lenny sounds. Impressed with bridge and middle as well nut the neck pickup is worth the cost alone. Highly recommend!
I've been singing the praises of Tonerider to anyone who will listen for a long time now, and have tried a good portion of their line-up. Never had a bad experience. These Nashville telecaster pickups are exactly what you could hope for.
The middle pickup is that rare middle position that's totally useable on its own, and is a great balance between the twang of the bridge pickup and the subtly compressed grunt of the neck. Positions 2 and 4 on this are quite strat-adjacent but still sound like a tele, and if you're using a 7-way mod to get the neck and bridge together like a traditional tele, they have a great classic telecaster drive to them.
So happy with this set that I've ordered another set to put in a new build, this time with a humbucker neck. Tonerider's customer support is amazing and they're always so quick and so accommodating that I'm never going back to any of the more expensive boutique pickup manufacturers.
If you're on the fence about trying these, there are much more expensive mistakes you could make, and these won't disappoint!
I've had these for a while in Telecaster and pair it with a 5-way 10-position Free Way switch. The range of sounds and tones is amazing. One minute you have a blazing telecaster then the next moving to position 2 or 4 you have that Strat sound. The added advantage of the Free Way switch is by flicking up you now get humbuckers. The Nashville tonerider pickups are more than up for it. I must admit I have a Strat but these pickups in the telecaster out strat the strat in my humble opinion This is now the most versatile guitar I own and sounds fecking amazing!!! Do yourself a favour and move to the dark side!!!!
