Full Description
The Classic Blues is the highest output of our "vintage" style Strat sets. Wound with a high wind on full strength Alnico V magnets, this set delivers punch and presence, and plenty of attack.
The Classic Blues set uses rod 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.

Customer Reviews
Love these pickups. My first time using Tonerider was when upgrading my HH Squier Tele w/ Birmingham's and coil splits. They sound amazing and really cut through the mix when playing live with my band. I'm so happy with the sound and price that I bought a single coil middle pickup for that HH Tele (Nashville Super Tele?), and just upgraded a really nice Firefly HSS strat with a Birmingham humbucker and 2 Pure Blues single coils. They do not disappoint. This thing is a tone monster!
Present sound, nicely build, fair price... putted them in a 40th An. Spuier Strat to get a little bit more presence out of it. Worked for me...
Great tone and good clarity.
They work very well tuned down a half step for SRV sound or down a step for some Hendrix stuff.
It's a shame that the stagger pattern isn't really the same as the Fender pickups.
I really love and enjoy playing my guitars that have Tonerider pickups. Specially this Classic Blues pickups, the sound is clear, hot and full. I really love them. Thank you very much for your work!
I heard great things about this product and had it shipped all the way to Japan. It arrived sooner than expected, and the build quality was excellent.
The sound was exactly what I had hoped for, just like what I'd heard in videos.
Partly due to changing the wiring, my Squier Stratocaster feels like a completely different guitar now.
Lastly, to all the Tonerider staff:
Thank you so much!!
