With unrivalled clarity and great dynamics, the Surfari set mimics the earliest of stratocaster sounds - right back to the mid 50s.  The Alnico III magnets also make for a solid mid-range, with less "scoop" than more modern magnets. 

The Surfari set uses rod magnets with our "Modified Vintage Stagger" allowing for great string to string balance on a wide range of instruments.

Each pickup is fully wax potted to reduce any microphonic feedback, and comes supplied with screws, latex height adjustment tubing and an installation guide.

Couldn’t be better

I honestly couldn’t ask for a better set of Strat pickups, especially at this price.

Alinco III the best magnets!

he tonerider Surfari pickups are my first choice. The price-performance ratio is very good. The Alnico III magnets produce exactly the right Stratocaster sound for me, transparent in the clean and not too sharp and sizzling in the distorted soun

Amazing upgrade

Got these as a gift for christmas and I love them, they’re very clear and bright but not harsh. I put them into a classic vibe squier strat and the only issue I had with them was that the new covers were a slightly different shape/size so I had to do a little bit of sanding on the pickguard but other than that they’re great.

solid definition

The Surfaris have delivered that glassy Strat quack that I pined for years. The definition on the low end is incredibly, and the output is consistent across all strings. I swapped out the factory Lace Sensors on a 90s Strat Plus, which never really did what I was after (they’re awesome for gain, but that’s not what I’m into). I can’t believe I’ve finally found that classic Strat tone, and for such a low price. If you want high gain, maybe there are better options, but for super clean to overdriven Strat tones, these are single coil heaven.

Great

Put a set of Surfari in a Squier Sonic Series Strat. Holy smokes. I’m totally blown away with how great they sound compared to the stock pickups. Also the build quality is nice as well as fast shipping. Over all great experience.
