Full Description
Birmingham, England meet Birmingham, Alabama! This humbucker set delivers classic British crunch and huge mids, but also splits to a killer Southern single coil sound.
The Birmingham takes the best of your favourite 70s tones and slams them into one great humbucker set. Think Angus, Jimmy, Tony and the rest!
All Birmingham 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.

I have bought many different sets from TONERIDER. Every set is a winner. Truly amazing pickups. Transform your guitar today!
I have 4 Tonerider pickups, service and quality are great. I use Birmingham in one very bright/scooped guitar, in bridge position. It has Bill Lawrence XL500 (a fail in that guitar), then Duncan JB (too loud and aggressive), then PAF alnico (better but not great), and now Birmingham (just right). I recommend this one for bright guitars, especially if you want to be heard in the mix. Description is right- it brings natural mids from your guitar. Usable tones from clean to crunch to high gain, without any additional EQ.
I'm very satisfied with the tones of the Birminghams. Both configurations, humbuckers and splitted to SC, are good, clear and dynamic. Maybe I will switch from SC to parallel wiring to avoid SC noise.,
Great clarity even at high gain. Tried through amp modelling and valve amp with consistent clarity and creamy nice tone with no harsh highs
I replaced pickups in a Sire S7 with these. I'm super happy with the tone. They're a slightly beefier version of a Str@t, but still very clear and detailed, which is exactly what I wanted. Great quality, and great price. Tonerider and macdaddymusic.com were also great with after-sale questions.
