Are these the best P90 pickups?

Are these the best P90 pickups? This is the Tonerider Vintage P90 neck pickup and the Tonerider Hot P90 bridge pickup. These are about £40 each or £80 for the set which is under half the price of a similar spec Seymour Duncan.

What we've noticed with onerider pickups is that they are properly made, using nickel components and they don't skimp on the copper so you get a great sounding set of pickups for a great price

I had a Seymour jazz in the neck of my teli and swapped it to s rebel90 by tonerider. Super happy.

[andymcstab]

Bought my first set of toneriders for a 3 pick up epiphone SG custom I rebuilt recently. I used the Birmingham Alnico 5 set for bridge and middle and a Vintage Alnico 2 one for the neck. The guitar is now a salivating wild beast!!!! I'll consider a set of P90's for my Noventa Stratocaster after my experience and this video 👍👍

The neck Tonerider sounds like a good upgrade, the bridge sounds similar to the original Epiphone, so not worth swapping out in my view. Good video! Tonerider/Epiphone v Seymour Duncan comparison would be interesting to see if its worth going the whole hog!

I love that riff at 4:02 reminds me of old fei comodo

I absolutely love Tonerider pickups & think they’re best of the budget brands. I put some of the p90s in a Chinese Tokai I bought & was disappointed with.
Made a massive improvement.

[mrbesserwisser]

Stock pups sounds OK. Just a differnce in tonality. Use the tone control.

[theponyneverstops]

Sounds awesome. Such a good upgrade which has now made this guitar perfect! 🤘 Thanks mate

[turrafirmaguitarchannel]

Thanks for your review. I have Tonerider Alnico 2 Classics in a Samick Les Paul and a Rebel 90 in an Epi Junior. The Rebel is a P90 in a humbuckers format. I think the Toneriders sound great!!

[JakelikejakefromSF]

There’s so much reverb saturation it’s hard to tell. Try playing the demo clean so we can hear the differences before you layer in all the effects.

I have tonerider generator set (alnico 5) in a Harley benton sc custom

and their rocksong set (overwound alnico 2) in a 'flipped' custom randy Rhodes flying v guitar (long part of the V has 4 pots and 3way switch in a line as I wanted les paul style control and push pull pots lol)

I made out of a 200year old antique walnut dresser that I got in an auction lol

Both sets are amazing pickups and worth checking out of you plan any upgrades in the near future.

Had them for 2 years and they consistently sit around the top of the best sounding guitars I own even though the collection is getting out of hand.

[zahirajinan]

In minute 4:02 interesting to hear that, so bright overdrive and remind me to RATM

[therko]

What did you do with the guitar? It looks awesome! Did you strip the poly and repaint it or just sanded it? I have the same model and I've been thinking about sanding it a little to show the grain cause paint seems very thick. I'd love to see how to do this and not mess it up ☺️

[garrynathan]

I believe they are made in the far east but source their materials from Japan and they are scatter wound which I believe is quite a rarity for budget pickups. Personally, I play an Epiphone Wilshire and I have noticed Ephiphones typically mount their bridge pickups quite a far distance from the bridge causing not as much treble, top end and so personally I would invest in the vintage P90s for more top end on the bridge pickup. Many thanks for the enlightenment and demo. Cheers.

[MaxRadin]

Those p90s sound great. Do the Vintage neck and Hot bridge still work with RWRP in the middle position? thx

[brCharlieNagy]

Beautiful clean tone. Is it Stacked (double coil) inside ? ANy noise ?

[jonathanhandsmusic]

The tone rider in the neck is clearer than the Epiphone but the bridge sounds 99% like the Epiphone.

[VanjaSpirin]

I use Tonerider, mostly A4 PAF's for years. Honestly, I can not find big name pickups (Dimarzio, SD, Gibson) which sound better. They are clean winners.

[geoschiffer]

the neck is really nice; the bridge is a bit strident for my liking. guess that could be overcome by switching the magnets to A2, maybe?

[johnnyblitzkrieg]

I have humbucker size Tonerider Rebel 90's in my SG. Great for early Iommi style sounds.

[robertthompson]

Can I ask what upgraded wraparound tailpiece is in the Epiphone special?
