Excellent pickups **Q: knowing that they're single coils, how quiet are they with overdrive or slight distortion? or better I get a humbucker?** A: They're obviously not going to be as quiet as humbuckers, but they're definitely among the quieter single coils I've used.

They're great pickups. **Q: What size potentiometers works best for the tonerider trt2?** A: 250k is what you use for single coil pickups. I have put in many of the Tonerider Pups. Always 250k Pots. **Q: Amazon ad states they aren Alnico V? They need to fix it!** A: Its overwound alnico III ## Frequently Bought Together - Tonerider Hot Classics (Set) - Fender F Neckplate Chrome - Fender American Vintage Telecaster Strings-Through-Body String Ferrules --- ## 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.hr/products/50161381-hot-classics-telecaster-pickup-set-nickel-cover-flat-poles-alnico](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/50161381-hot-classics-telecaster-pickup-set-nickel-cover-flat-poles-alnico) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
