Honestly these Tonerider pickups are some of the best out there at any price. I have this set in four of my Strats and I can afford more expensive pickups. Don't be afraid to buy these! Don't pay for the name. Pay less for what works better!
@@lucbos7516 i have two sets...rebel 90 (p90) and hot classics (telecaster) very good for the price...classics blues or alnico 2 blues will be next...some say alnico 2 is more guilmour style...
Umm umm - you really hit my spot with this sweet subtlety - and what a great demo - I hope you got rewarded for a great promotion ! . Keep going man - love your playing .
I put this set on my Squier Protone Strat plus .022 tone cap and wired tone pot to bridge pup, I also put a metal plate under my bridge pup, brilliant sound.
Its not often I turn the volume up when I watch some of these demos. But for this demo I did. You should work for ToneRider. Very great playing, love it and the sounds !!
Thanks for the demos! I'm looking for a set of Strat pickups and you are demoing both of the sets on my short list: Toneriders and Tone Emporiums. You make them all sound great but this will help me narrow it down. Much appreciated!
Solid chop. Steady groove. Dig it. Maybe telling viewers how the tone knobs were set? Position 1 sounds better on clean than on hair, but #5 is righteous!
Funny, I have been researching budget-friendly pickups for a project and narrowed it down to these and the GFS 59 Vintage Wounds. Went back to compare this vid to the one that put the GFSs into contention and I'll be dammed if it wasn't you playing those too. Haha . . . guess i just like what your fingers have to say and the way they say it. Just goes to show, its the Indian and not the arrow. Good stuff!
Very seldom do I find the desire to post on a pickup demo. Could you possibly demo every pickup made? This should be training video for those who demo pickups. Lot's of clean. Then instead of using some transparent smooth overdrive use a transistor sounding, harsh clipping RAT. You could not have made a better choice to show how these pickups shine. By the way. LOVE the RAT for it's over the top harsh clipping.
It does not have to be all, there is no need to be perfect. One or several samples can be judged by a person who needs it. People are different, picks are different, amps are different ... I think they are understood by individuals to watch.
Hey papatyu08. Great playing and great feel! Could you tell me exactly what strat you are playing here and any modifications made to it apart from the Tone rider pickups? Also what amp and pedals are you using? Big thanks!

If you were looking for SRV tone from Tonerider, the City Limits set is the way to go. It's DESIGNED for SRV tone. Classic Blues and Pure Vintage... less so.
The tonerider city limits is described as a Texas tone pickup (SRV) and the McNelly triple scoop has a Mayer-esque touch to it according to their website. When in doubt, just listen to some demos on TH-cam. By the way, McNelly is twice the price of a Tonerider pickup if you don't want to break your budget.

Beautiful sounding pick ups ..lovely playing and demo ..Good has the big boys ..better
Best Demo I ever saw!
Thanks！
yes.... a Wes Montgomery feeling! thank's
Way better than the rubbish Tonerider is putting on TH-cam.
Is this ?
It certainly is! I don't rate their demos at all. This actually shows what the pickups sound like.
Solid chop. Steady groove. Dig it. Maybe telling viewers how the tone knobs were set? Position 1 sounds better on clean than on hair, but #5 is righteous!
I fitted these in a Mexican strat.They are a huge improvement on the stock pickups.

Hi, Mike. Fernandes LE-2 Old Cheap Stratocaster copy. CTS pots, Switchecraft jack. Ceramic dish cap. Old Hermida Audio Reverb & RAT2(LM308), Fender 62 Brown Deluxe. However I sold LE-2 & Pedal.
Great sound of your strat, and thanks for the info ;-)
Hello, in your opinion which pickups are better and more versatile?. The fender pure vintage 65 or the tonerider classic blues? Thank you
