Great all-around Bridge Pickup

From Clean To Mean.
Nice sounding also splitted.

Great tones, great price, great look !

I put a Tonerider Birmingham on my Gibson Les Paul, in the bridge position, replacing the original Burstbucker 3. The pickup is incredible, with a pronounced midrange that's perfect for high voltage rock or '80s-style hard rock. One of the split modes offers great dynamics and works really well for blues. I bought the raw nickel one, whose look is perfect for my guitar. This pickup offers excellent value for money — I highly recommend it. What a discovery, and what a deal !

Very pleased, sounds great in my old guitar.

Nice balanced sound. Good for rock.
I did the coilsplit prs-style (with resistors) and it works very nice.

Awesome pickup!

Pretty much what it says on the tin, it’s the first pickup I have tried where the split coil sounds really good, and it has nice girthy mids in humbucker mode.
