Tonerider Vintage Plus Telecaster Pickups
The Tonerider Vintage Plus is a Telecaster pickup set designed to capture the character and dynamics of the best vintage single-coil pickups, with versatility perfectly suited to modern guitarists.
Fitted with Alnico 5 magnets, these pickups offer excellent definition and dynamic response that respects playing nuances. The Telecaster neck pickup delivers a warm, clear and detailed tone, ideal for clean sounds, blues and rhythm playing. With a DC resistance of 7.4 kΩ, it retains a strong presence without becoming too dark.
The Telecaster bridge pickup, rated at 6.8 kΩ, delivers the crisp attack and famous twang associated with the Telecaster. Precise and dynamic, it produces everything from snappy country tones to thicker sounds for blues and classic rock.
For the bridge pickup, Tonerider uses its TR Vintage Modified staggered pole pieces, designed to achieve good volume balance across the strings. Its construction also includes a copper-plated steel baseplate, in the tradition of classic Telecaster pickups.
The neck and bridge pickups have opposite winding direction and polarity. Both pickups are also wax potted to reduce the risk of microphonic feedback at high volume.
The Tonerider Vintage Plus Telecaster set is an excellent solution for replacing the stock pickups in a Telecaster-style guitar or building a new instrument. It retains the essential qualities sought in this type of guitar: attack, clarity, twang, warmth and dynamics, while offering enough versatility to cover a wide range of styles.
