Vintage Plus Telecaster Pickup Set, Nickel Cover, Right-Handed, Alnico 5 Magnets, Perfect For Country And Rock, 5-Year Warranty

These pickups are absolutely superb quality for the money. I put them in an SX telecaster which is a project I am working on and its made the guitar really shine. The have a real character to the tone of them and the increase in mids really gives the guitar that pronounced Tele spank. The pickups took 15 mins to fit even with a mod that reversed the control plate. The wires are wax cloth and of a very high quality just as the pickups are. Buy this set! You wont regret it

I bought these to replace the Duncan Designed pickups that came with my Vintage Modified Squier thinline tele. The difference was nothing short of astounding! The original wiring had 500K pots, so I also changed to a more standard 250K/0.0047uF arrangement, and installed a 4-way pickup switch whilst I was at it. (The extra position puts the two pickups in series to make in effect one giant humbucker, which gives a small output boost and a very useable tone.) The output of the new pickups is higher, but without losing any clarity. They also give plenty of telecaster twang, but without this becoming shrill or ‘ice-picky’. Overall, this is a quality pickup set that has really transformed my tele: They really have no business being this cheap. I’m off now to buy a set of Tonerider humbuckers to upgrade my Epiphone Les Paul! .

I was building a Telecaster and was looking at the various Fender sets and other brand pairs when I came across these at half the price. Went to the reviews and pretty much all of them said they were amazing. They are not wrong - these beauties sound amazing and work exceptionally in my new build. It's a Tele on steroids. Wax potted and proper push back wire - these babies hold their own and exceed other offerings at half the price. Brilliant.

Great sounding ,very clear and respond well to gain,would recommend.very well priced.

I bought myself a Korean made Telecaster copy, which is very well made with the exception of the electrics. It was always my intention to replace the pups and after some serious research decided to opt for a set of these Tonerider TRT1 Vintage Plus pickups - I'm so glad I did too because they are simply brilliant! I set the guitar up with a nice low action and pups sit approximately 2.5mm below the string height. This is slightly higher than recommended, but works for me. Clean the tones produced are reminiscent of the 1950s guitar sounds. Richly toppy with the neck pup selected - great for country players. Dirty they deliver exactly the depth of quality I was looking for the blues I love to play. It may be worth mentioning my tele is a lot more 'quacky' since fitting the Toneriders. Would I swap these Toneriders for anything else? Nope, but I might consider buying another reasonable tele copy to try out some alternative pups!

These pick-ups are astonishing. They give you that classic Telecaster sound, lots of snap and bite, and dirty, they really crunch. Absolutely no hesitation whatsoever recommending these, they are incredible - and at under £60, frankly they're a steal. Buy them, you would have to spend a hell of a lot of money to get better pick-ups than these. Update 9/9/2019. I now have these on four of my Telecasters and am about to add a set to a new guitar. They continue to delight me, giving a fantastic range of tones to my guitars. I have tried other brands, but I keep going back to these.

These are simply great. I put them in my top shelf, early 50's style, ash Tele self-build and am totally impressed with them. I play trough a handwired '59 fender tweed bassman/twin tone arrangement in an Eminence texas heat 2x12 voiced open back combo, which is a very honest amp! A four way switch only increases the nirvana and the very reasonable price point is the reason I tried them in the first place. I can't realistically describe the sound because I own my own set of ears and so do you, but listen to every Tele from the 1950s; you can get that sound!

I very recently bought a Squier Classic Vibe Tele which to be honest was pretty good as it stood, but I always tend to customise my guitars as you end up with a better quality guitar for a lot less money than you would spend with a dealer. I also fitted a Gotoh bridge- the only problem here was removing the old Squier bridge plate- I had to use an impact driver to shift the cheap Chinese screws. The pickups themselves sound fine with more detail than the old ones- I may at a later stage change the main wiring and pots.

From other reviews and searches for advice, these pickups were recommended by others over the FENDER pickups. Very well made and compatible for a Tele Style guitar. I upgraded My Firefly Tele guitar and I will Tell you that these are a VERY noticeable sound upgrade. They are fantastic sounding. This guitar now feels like a vintage tele, which is just what I wanted. Firefly is amazing for the price but when you put these in it is the real deal!! Worth every penny! They Fit PERFECTLY. I want to Add that This is a pretty easy upgrade for a Tele Style Guitar. You will need a good Solder iron with 60/40 rosin core solder. Its a learning curve but if you get a good soldering iron and search You Tube you will find much help. It was my first time in a while doing this. I purchased a SOLOMON Soldering Iron from STEWMAC. Best unit ever for this type of work especially if its your 1st time. Whether you choose there Pencil type solder iron or the Solomon with the digital temperature readout it will heat up fast and You need that to avoid damaging you pots or capacitors. Be sure to see Stew Macs video on soldering. One of the many helps I found. Taking a picture of your wiring setup before do the work. It will be easier. Tele's are the easiest guitars to upgrade. You may want to just use your original pots or replace them...Your choice..I didn't and they sound Just amazing.

Habe mir die Teile in meine Thomann-Tele mit Esche-Body rein gebaut und das für den 4-way-Switch modifizierte Fender Vintage Tele Set, daß ich vorher schon drin hatte, wieder ausgebaut. OK, der fette Sound in der 4. Position fehlt mir schon gelegentlich, aber diese Modifikation kann ich ja auch an diesem Set machen.... ungeachtet der damit nichtigen Gewährleistung. Soundlich gefallen mir die Tonerider in dieser Klampfe etwas besser, sie klingen schön offen mit ordentlich Druck und meines Erachtens einen Tick transparenter im Sound. Soundbeispiele gibt's ja auf YouTube genug. Zum Glück habe ich mir nicht das Hot Vintage Set gekauft, denn das gebt mir dann doch zu sehr in Richtung P90. Und gerade in einer Esche-Tele kommt dieses Pickup-Set schön knurrig und perkussiv. Wie bislang hatte immer einen super Sound mit Tonerider-Pickups.... und ich habe da so einige Sets. Leider werden die Teile von Monat zu Monat teurer. Tonerider ist halt inzwischen bei den Etablierten angekommen und lässt uns Kunden das am Preis spüren.

Très bons micros, excellent rapport qualité prix. Ça sonne !!! Pour peu qu'on aie de la finesse dans son jeu de guitare on peut tout jouer!!!!!

Sono molto soddisfatto di questi pu. Li ho trovati facili da montare do ottima fattura e ad un prezzo veramente accessibile. Li ho montati su una squier tele affinity...il suono e cambiato notevolmente. Si sente il twang tipico delle tele del 50' ...ovviamente mto dipende dal tipo di amplificazione che userete ma sicuramente hanno dato almeno un buon 50% in piu alla chitarra. Il pu al ponte e molto presente e le regolazioni effettivamente funzionano molta dinamica specialmente se si tengono a una distanza media. Le tre posizioni sono adesso ben definite e ognuna ha una sia personalità. ..il pu al ponte ha un ottima potenza di uscita. Il pu al manico e grosso e rotondo se regolato bene. Niente da dire come difetti..ottimi se comparati ai prezzi di fender custom shop. Ve li consiglio per up grade su chitarre entry level.

hard to beat for the price,installed them on my Squier affinity Tele they sound like as good as my 1968 fender tele pickups
