Our first Alnico 2 Tele set offers blues and jazz players warm, rich trebles and superb sustain, whilst still maintaining enough tele-twang on the bridge pickup to keep up with country licks. This is our lowest output telecaster set, and lets your guitar ring! In particular, this set works great with a snappier maple fingerboard telecaster, controlling harsh trebles and overly boomy bass notes.

All bridge pickups come with our modified vintage stagger, and are available in right and left-handed models.

Great pickups - very well packaged - given me that country blues sound on my partscaster I’ve been looking for and at less than half the price of Fender PU’s

FANTASTIC TONES, NONE BETTER FOR THE PRICE, COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED MY MEX TELE, THANKS NORTHWEST GUITARS.

Inexpensive upgrade for a old battered Squier telecaster.

I put these into a cheap charity shop 1991 Squier Telecaster and it is a great improvement. I didn't much like the pickups that were in it, so didn't play it much, and when they started playing up I started to look for a relatively inexpensive replacement for this battered old guitar. I bought these based purely on on-line reviews and you-tube samples. I was torn between these and the vintage plus, but I felt that these had a bit more character and were more to my taste. I put them in, gave it a full setup and a fresh set of strings and now it plays really nicely again. Generally I use the neck pick up on this guitar, and it gives a nice bright sound, with a bit of bite when you dig in. Very happy with my choice.

Bluesy

I fitted the Tonerider pickups to a Harley Benton Telecaster. Once I had them positioned 2-3mm under the strings with the 12th fret held down as advised in the information it gave the guitar a nice Bluesy sound. Well satisfied with that

Fabulous value for money.

In a blindfold test through a nice amp nobody’s going to guess that these were affordable pickups. Bridge is what you’re expecting, neck is warmer. I hate ice pick treble so I love ‘em. NW Guitars are really helpful.
