Full Description
Perfect for Blues and Jazz, the Alnico 2 Blues set offers players touch-sensitive and sweet clean tones, without boomy bass notes or harsh trebles.
The Alnico 2 Blues 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.

Customer Reviews
I bought this set to replace the stock pickups in my old Squier 20th Anniversary Strat. The difference is like night and day, the guitar sounded like mud before but now it absolutely sings. Bright, but not overly so. Sounds great both clean and dirty. And you can't beat the price, I've played pickups costing well over twice as much that didn't sound anywhere near this good!
Seriously....why would anyone buy any other pickup? These are superb. Bell-like when needed; punchy and powerful. Simply superb!
Alnico 2 Blues
i'm not a "pro" player, only an amateur, this set of pick ups really surprised me, but the main added value are the guys of toneriders team, always available and very kind to support me in the choiche.
They make a Stellar-Caster out of your Strat. That is the Strat-Sound I was looking for. If you like it more in SRV-Style, think about the "City Limits".
