Full Description
Two fat, full neck and mid pickups mixed with a hotter bridge. A rich bass and tempered bell-like trebles make this a set for the bluesman and rocker alike!
The City Limits set uses A5 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, and comes supplied with screws, latex height adjustment tubing and an installation guide.

Great sounding pickups. Easy to follow along soldering instructions included.
Awesome guitar pickups for Blues and Rock. Creamy guitar tones. I highly recommend them.
I decided to swap out the pickups on my Fender Classic Series 50's Stratocaster. I absolutely love the guitar but I needed a little more punch from the pickups. I kept putting it off due the cost of a set of single coils but then I came across this site. I couldn't believe how low the price was for a full set of pickups. I watched a few reviews on YouTube then pulled the trigger and WOW!!! am I glad I did!!! The City Limits sound absolutely amazing!!! The tones I'm getting far exceed my expectations. Ill definitely be trying some of the other Tonerider pickups in my other guitars.
City Limits certainly growl when needed but clean up as well for glassy cleans.
As per title this will refer only to the middle pickup, which I've chosen to pair up with a Tonerider Generator Set on an HSH full upgrade project. This little single coil made me literally love position 3 (middle pickup on its own) - it is a bluesy and inspiring sound even on its own. Otherwise, classic position 2 and 4 with split coil on the Generator set pairs so well with this little fellow - no phase issues with slug coils. Cable work on these is outstanding, they are sturdy and have a braided coating. Color of choice during purchase was provided as an extra cover for a super easy swap (from white to black) before installing.
Overall, it's a huge recommend on my part - I'm sure the whole set is great, as per other reviews, if you're planning to upgrade on an SSS or HSS configuration.
