Got this to replace a rather limp Fender Humbucker in a Tele HSS
Wow, what a difference, much fatter sound with lovely clear mids,
Sounds pretty decent tapped too.

Great sounding pickup . Bought to sound as close to my les paul studio bridge pickup as possible. Almost the same sound. Good cleans and great over driven . Wish the cable was a bit chunkier like the gibson ones. Overall very happy with it though.

Great pickup, lots of clarity compared to the stock pickup it replaced. It is fairly hot, very good for classic rock/metal. Instructions/springs/screws all came included and black/white leads were pre soldered and taped so no confusion as to which wires are soldered to the volume pot

I wasn’t expecting too much for the price, but they are actually fantastic. I replaced the standard pups in my Ibanez with these and they transformed the guitar.

I have a neck standard (non F-spaced) version installed in bridge position of my Pacifica – trem bridge. Even though the poles do not line up perfectly with the strings (did not notice that for a long time, bough a spare from a friends service shop), the sound is amazing. Detailed and defined, with just the right amount of “volume”, sort of and organic harmonic bark when played trough the lead channel (of my amp, PRS MT15). Single notes sound great, chords sound great. Just what I wanted, thank you Toneriders.

Screaming hot set.
The neck pup sounds great, but the bridge pup is a little monster.
I really love the screaming power of the Generator bridge-pup.
All in all, an excellent set.

I bought a set of covered Generators to replace the stock humbuckers in a Mex Chris Shiflett Tele Deluxe. The difference was night and day. That such amazing tone and clarity comes from a set of p’ups at this price point is nuts. What was an ok sounding guitar has been transformed into one that I can’t get enough of.

I must say…the hype is real!!! I’m a long time veteran gear junkie, over 35 years playing guitar and I’ve played a plethora of different pickups but I’ve been mainly using Seymour Duncans or Gibson pickups but I recently purchased a Godin Detour electric and I had a Tonerider Generator bridge and Rocksong neck pickups laying on my work bench so I thought I’d try them out after hearing a lot of good things about Tonerider pickups. These pickups are absolutely amazing!! The Generator bridge pickup is highly articulate, well-defined and the harmonic overtones are amazing…it never gets muddy no matter how much gain you throw at it and it cleans up very nicely when you roll back the volume knob. Trust me, if you’re looking for a great rock/hard rock or metal humbucker setup, then give the Generator bridge paired with a Rocksong neck pickup a try..you will be amazed! This is now my go to pickup combination replacing Seymour Duncan JB’s, Customs, 59’s, and Jazz pickups…Tonerider pickups are for real!!
