With 4-conductor wiring, nickel-silver baseplate, and wax potting, it offers versatile tonal options and noise reduction. Backed by a 5-year warranty, this nickel-covered pickup is a professional-grade upgrade designed for clean and overdriven sounds, perfect for guitarists seeking classic tone with modern reliability. ## Description Manufacturer's 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 scatterwound around vintage correct polepieces and are the most affordable way to upgrade any guitar to classic tone nirvana. Both neck and bridge pickups come with nickel-silver baseplates, scatterwound coils, wax-potting and four-conductor wiring. Box Contains AC2 humbucker bridge pickup with nickel cover;Wiring Guide;Set of height adjustment screws and springs Review: Great-Sounding Versatile Pickup - This is a great pickup, particularly for the price. I recently installed one of these in the bridge position of an MIM Player Strat which was a little too bright for the single coil in there and it sounds excellent. I also installed a coil-tap switch per the wiring instructions that came with the pickup (I went Old School and tapped the slug coil with a mini-toggle switch between the volume and first tone knobs). An added plus is that because the other two pickups are Tonerider City Limits single coils, there are no phase issues when switching to middle-bridge position This is now one of my favourite guitars, punchy and articulate tone and increased overall versatility. Highly recommended, and amazing value for money. Review: My new "go to" pickups! - The Tonerider hype is all true! I have put these in two LP style guitars now and they are top-class - I can now get Paul Kossof sounds. I used 500k Linear on the volume and 500k Log/47nF on the tone. For me the 500k Linear (yes! Linear, not Log) on the volume is just great with a cranked up valve amp! ## Features - VINTAGE VOICED HUMBUCKERS: Inspired by the best pickups of the 50s, the Alnico 2 Classic humbucker set is the perfect vintage output set for a wide range of musical styles. - VINTAGE CLARITY: Both the neck and bridge pickups offer clear, open clean sounds, filled with warmth, fullness and sustain.

I have put these in two LP style guitars now and they are top-class - I can now get Paul Kossof sounds. I used 500k Linear on the volume and 500k Log/47nF on the tone. For me the 500k Linear (yes!

Installed in a Mexican strat (sss now hss). I’m influenced by a lot of early British punk music and could get a lot of tones similar to the bands of that time. Very happy with it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/52399045-alnico-2-classic-bridge-humbucker-pickup-nickel-50mm-spacing-alnico](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/52399045-alnico-2-classic-bridge-humbucker-pickup-nickel-50mm-spacing-alnico) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
