Tonerider AC4 Classic Alnico V PAF Humbucker Pickup
Pickup available at Northwest Guitars
Usually ready in 1 hour
The Tonerider Alnico 4 Classic is a perfectly matched humbucker set, offering exceptional pick sensitivity, rich harmonics, and a tight bass response.
When you push the gain, these pickups saturate quickly, producing a harmonic “singing” tone with a smooth, vocal-like, flutey quality—hallmarks of a great PAF-style pickup.
Each AC4 pickup is fully wax-potted to prevent microphonic feedback and comes complete with #3/48 screws, springs, and an installation guide for easy installation.

When selecting pickup spacing, consider your guitar’s bridge type. Standard spacing (49-50mm) works best for guitars with fixed bridges, like Gibson Les Pauls, SGs, and ES-335s.
F-spacing (52-53mm) is designed for tremolo-equipped guitars, such as Fender Stratocasters, Telecasters with tremolos, and guitars with Floyd Rose systems. Choosing the right spacing ensures proper string alignment and optimal tone.
