## Overview

The Tonerider Alnico 2 Classic Bridge Zebra pickup delivers authentic 1950s PAF-inspired humbucker tones with warm, clear, and balanced output. Featuring scatterwound coils, wax potting, and Alnico 2 magnets, it offers smooth overdrive and rich sustain. Designed for easy installation, this zebra-style pickup is a cost-effective upgrade for guitarists seeking vintage clarity and dynamic response.

## Description

The earliest Patent-Applied-For (or “PAF”) humbuckers used a range of magnet types, but PAFs made with Alnico II have always held a special place in many guitarists’ tone arsenal. If you have ever heard someone describe a PAF as ‘flute-like’ - then that’s the Alnico II working its magic. Tonerider Alnico II Classics are scatter wound around vintage correct pole pieces and are the most affordable way to upgrade any guitar to classic tone nirvana. Both neck and bridge pickups come with zebra bobbins (screw coil cream) and nickel-silver baseplates and baseplates, scatter wound coils, wax-potting and four-conductor wiring.

Review: Excellent bang for your buck! - Bought one of these in an attempt to improve the rather anaemic tones from the bridge pickup on my Gibson ES-345... I have invested in some very expensive pickups in the past - but I'd previously installed some Tonerider P.90 pickups to upgrade my Danelectro's and found them to be excellent sounding & surprisingly well made given the low cost compared to many after market types. I gave the Tonerider AC2B-GD Alnico II Classic go... I have to say I was very pleased with the result - much more 'bite' and a bit more gain has made all the difference... The new Tonerider pickup measured just over 8K on my multi-meter compared to the Gibson's rather wimpy (for a bridge) 7.3K & as a result I've a much better balance between the bridge & neck pickup tones... Can't find any negatives with the build or tones so I highly recommend these pickups- especially if you're on a bit of a budget..!
Review: Great Bang for Buck PAF pickup - I have bought a few different Tonerider p/ups and all are good sounding at a very reasonable price. I put this on my Gibby LP and it sounded surprisingly bright but enough low end to give a balanced tone. Soundwise quite similar to a real PAF and at around 35quid a steal. If you consider SD and other high end makes charge almost 2 x as much these are great at this price bracket. I have a Strat set of Tonerider City Limits and these are brilliant just as good as Fender Texas specials IMO.
