Full Description
The Alnico 4 Classic is a matched humbucker set that is pick sensitive, rich in harmonics and with a tight bass.
When you crank the gain, these pickups saturate quickly and start to “sing” harmonically, with a vocal, flutey quality – the mark of a great PAF!
All AC4 pickups are fully wax potted to avoid microphonic feedback, and come with supplied with #3/48 screws, springs and an installation guide.
Available individually or as a set. Four conductor wiring as standard on all models.

Just put a set of 4’s in my humble Gretsch jet club. Always sounded pretty decent but I am honestly shocked at the improvement. Lovely mid forward neck with great clarity and really well balanced which is great for a single volume pot guitar.. All in all it sounds way more detailed , clear and dare I say vintage. Almost like having a new set of ears:)
I'm no expert but putting the Alnico 4 Classic pickups in my old Columbus LP has given it a tone as good as or better than many Gibsons I can compare with on Youtube. Great value.
Qualité/prix imbattable comparés aux autres micros du marché que j'ai pu tester en 40 ans de pratique, ces micros sont très réactifs au jeu, sonnent aussi bien en clean qu'en moyennes ou grosses saturations. C'est du tout bon, donnez-leur une chance, vous serez pas déçus.
I have tried many different pickups in my les pauls, and these are right up there as fantastic general allrounder option. Hot enough to get great sounds under gain, but sweet enough to get really nice edge of break up and clear clean sounds too.
Very impressed, and the value for money is even more impressive.
This is my 3rd or 4th set of Toneridrers now. Great product.
Great sounding Humbuckers and also an afordable price.
