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.

Great Sounding PIckups

Put Alnico Classic 2's in a Chibson R9, and they sound amazing .
Only problem I had was with USPS and I would only fault Tonerider for not having other shipping options.

Fantastic vintage tones and classy looks!

I fitted this into a customer’s guitar who was looking for a humbucker in the neck position on his telecaster. I chose the Alnico II to balance with the bridge pickup. He loves the look and (importantly) the sounds this pickup is giving. As a guitar tech I’m so impressed with this pickup which for the money is a total bargain. First time trying Tonerider - won’t be the last!

Love them!

I upgraded my cheap but beloved Harley Benton SC550 with the Alnico 2 set. They sound amazing, not just for the price point. I play a lot of GnfR stuff and the pickups absolutely nail my desired sound. Thanks a lot for your great products and quick shipment

Very, very good!

Absolutely top quality. Tried them in comparison with a Gibson USA 335 and they sound virtually identical.
Recommended purchase.
