I have a tonerider generator in my radian V and it is really really cool. I took out the bareknuckles nailbomb that was in there...I think I like the generator a little better in this guitar for some reason (the bareknuckles rules in my sapele snakeskin super strat though).

I think the generator is getting into the JB type hot levels
don't think so :?

They sound pretty good to me.

Guitarparts sells them now:

They are pair of tonerider rocksongs. Fairly high output.

If you'd just stop going on about those then it might give someone a chance to chime in about tonerider pickups ffs.

True, teles are so full of win that pickup replacement does less than in other inferior guitar types. Mine has the stock Mexican pickups...
