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 supplied with #3/48 screws, springs and an installation guide.

Available individually or as a set.  Four conductor wiring as standard on all models.

Questo non era il mio primo acquisto da Tonerider, quindi già sapevo che sarei rimasto più che soddisfatto da questa coppia di humbucker, e in realtà, una volta montati sulla mia Tokai USG58 hanno fatto sentire subito di cosa erano capaci. Io volevo dei pick up potenti ma che potessero anche addolcirsi, con grande dinamica e attacco, che non perdessero definizione con gain bello spinto sia su ritmiche che su fraseggi solistici, ed è esattamente quello che ho trovato, e anche di più, vorrei solo essere un chitarrista più bravo! Tonerider una garanzia assoluta.

At long last, I can stop researching pickups. This is the one I’ll continue getting! Holy grail midrange, supplemented with a KILLER low end that sets it apart from every other PAF copy of all prices from all brands. It’s not like high output pickup low end, which ends up stuffy and untamable. It’s a free, RESPONSIVE, uncompressed low end that is perfectly balanced with the gorgeous mids which do in fact still lead the show. It instantly made my right hand technique better playing this pickup. I use complex/atypical chords extensively under significant gain and effects, and for the first time all of my notes are ringing out loud and clear in every section. Also, I finally have a genuinely pleasing sounding clean sound when using the bridge pickup.
I can’t recommend it enough, even over all direct competitors from Duncan, Dimarzio, and the more boutique ones. It doesn’t have to be expensive and fancy guys, go with Tonerider and beat the game.

These pickups are excellent. I used them to replace a set of epiphone alnico clasics on an epiphone ES335 pro.
I was not expecting a great difference as the alnico clasics are fairly well respected.
Iwas presently suprised, the differnce is like night and day.
