Tonerider Pickups

[Brendan]

Lads / Ladettes - just had a look at the ToneRider website... http://www.tonerider.com/about/winding.html got a whole page on how they wind their pups for anyone who's interested. Also noted that most are 4 wire - COIL SPLITTING here I come!

Awesome stuff Ads, I'm about to purchase a set of Surfaris and Pure Vintage for my Strats

The classic blues have unreal tone along with the Rocksongs and the Generators are just dam animals

Hey Jarrod I have a couple of other Pitbull guitars also earmarked for pickup upgrades but I'm having a bit of trouble choosing which set for which guitar! The 2 guitars in question are my Rhodes Flying V and a Les Paul. Obviously the V is more metal and the Les Paul is more G'N'R - which pickups would you suggest for each? Cheers

[Gavin1393]

For the "V" I'd be looking at the Generators a cool 16k resistance!!!
Rocksongs for the Les Paul at a lesser 12k!

[MetalMatt]

Thanks Gav, from what I'd gleaned off the net I'd sort of semi-come to that conclusion but wasn't 100% sure

MetalMatt, the toneriders are terrific, unless I am happy to spend 300+ on my Muy Grande pickups I will use Toneriders in my guitars. They are a bargain by comparison and the quality is right up there.

Matt - for those guitars, it may be worth the wait for the Entwistles to come along - they've also got some high 16K style pups - DarkStars and some of the Neodymium range (HDN's - 16.9K!). Not sure when they're due to arrive, but Ads has apparently ordered some! They're also 4 wire so may be fun to compare.

[EDIT] just found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY2lgZCCDkE compares Generators and HDNs...

[jarrod]

Yup I agree gav, I have generators in my SV and rock songs in my prs and they are great combinations.

[MetalMatt]

Cheers fellas! Will put in an order tonight.

Birthday prezzies for 4 of my guitars! Thanks for the Toneriders Adam, will also get a set of the Generators in the not too distant future (and the GFS Crunchy Rails are for my EXP-1)
