Re: Cheap pickups in general
I have some in my Tele and they seem as good as anything to me, but its a tele after all...
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

They are pair of tonerider rocksongs. Fairly high output.pete_currie wrote:I've got some tonerider humbuckers. I got them off trademe a few years back for $59 each.
They sound pretty good to me.
Guitarparts sells them now:

True, teles are so full of win that pickup replacement does less than in other inferior guitar types. Mine has the stock Mexican pickups...BG wrote:I have some in my Tele and they seem as good as anything to me, but its a tele after all...

GFS OEM Matched pair on a no name Tele ceramic bar magnets, nice warm vintage output- Bridge clock in at a healthy 6.4K and the neck pickup a 50's correct 5.5K.
I love bargins $21.95
someone mentioned that gfs are not that great I say they are fantastic I've had a few pups from there anyway I did a youtube vid a little while back using those very pups.

If got GFS crunchy PAFs in my PRS copy, they are pretty sweet.
