The Tonerider Apex Classic HSS Set is a vintage-voiced inspired HSS set for all Strat type guitars. It features two hum-cancelling Apex Classic neck and middle pickups combined with an Alnico 2 Classic bridge humbucker.

The Apex Classic neck and middle pickups allow players to enjoy breathtaking vintage Strat tone - rich with detail and with bell-like chime, but without the hum. From stage to studio, our twin coil design allows for the natural movement of the strings to be unimpeded. The Apex Classic doesn't have the harsh, nasal sound of many other hum-cancelling pickups.

In the Bridge position, the Alnico 2 Classic is the perfect humbucker for clean tones all the way to overdrive sounds, providing warmth, fullness and sustain.

The Apex Classic HSS comprises of the following three pickups:

Neck: Apex Classic Neck Pickup for Stratocasters (APS1-N)

    6.3k, Alnico 5 Magnet, Two-Conductor Wiring

Mid: Apex Classic Mid Pickup for Stratocasters (APS1-M)

    6.3k, Alnico 5 Magnet, Two-Conductor Wiring

Bridge: Alnico 2 Classic F-Spaced Bridge Pickup (AC2B-F)

    8.5k, Alnico 2 Magnet, Four Conductor Wiring

Before you buy

These are raw, unfinished kits from a production factory, not flat-pack furniture. Expect to sand, fill and finish your instrument yourself, and expect the occasional scratch, dent or glue spot to deal with along the way. That is the craft, and it is why the result is worth playing.

Do a mock build before you sand or paint anything. We cannot accept returns on kits that have been part-assembled, painted or stained.

New to building? Start with an ST or TL kit, where much of the wiring is already done at the factory. We would not recommend a hollow body for a first build.

Build support

You are not on your own once the box arrives. Every kit is backed by our complete instruction manual, a quick start guide, wiring diagrams for more than fifty different kits, and step-by-step videos covering finishing, soldering, hardware, assembly and setup.
