A higher wind on Alnico III magnets makes our Hot Classics a must for the rock and blues player who wants more edge from their Telecasters. Hot Classics have a stronger midrange, thicker bass response and a raunchy upper register.

The Alnico III magnets offer great note separation, even for chord work using boost and overdrive pedals. The neck pickup features a Nickel-silver cover for incredible tonal transparency (no more muddy sounds) whilst the bridge pickup mimics some of the best hot Broadcaster pickups of yesteryear.

These have been Tonerider's best-selling pickup sets over the last few years, and now power thousands of Telecasters around the world. A grounded full size copper plated baseplate and black string wrap adds to the tone and completes the look and feel.

Tonerider Classic Tele. pickups

My son and I have built four telecasters form Australian hardwoods blackwood, mountain ash, messmate and redgum. Three of the guitars have these pickups and they have a great classic sound resonating in these woods. I recommend you have a listen to these pickups in whatever wood somewhere if you can. They are also reasonably priced, but compare well with some more expensive pickups.

Amazing Upgrade

I got this Tonerider set to replace Fender designed pickups in my Squier 50s Classic Vibe Telecaster. Units which were pretty good to be fair, but that for me just lost clarity and depth in a live band situation. The Hot Classics gave me the performance and tone upgrade that was missing from the stock units. They scythed through the mix effortlessly without losing body, depth or definition, giving the great Tele tones we all love. I'm am honestly blown away.

It was an excellent upgrade to my Squier 60s classic vibe

I used these pups in a previous T style build, they sounded fantastic, so I’m putting them in the T I’m making for myself.

Tonerider pickups and telecaster wiring kit

Northwest Guitars were excellent in providing advice and wiring diagram for the pickup upgrade project I’m working on. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for more parts. Recommended.
