Tonerider T3SET-NK Alnico II Blues Set (for TL style kits)

T3SET

Our first Alnico 2 Tele set offers blues and jazz players warm, rich trebles and superb sustain, whilst still maintaining enough tele-twang on the bridge pickup to keep up with country licks. This is our lowest output telecaster set, and lets your guitar ring! In particular, this set works great with a snappier maple fingerboard telecaster, controlling harsh trebles and overly boomy bass notes.

Pickups For Telecaster® Style Guitars

A Telecaster Set that looks as good as they sound! Tonerider telecaster pickups use two of the best-sounding vintage winding patterns combined with our own reproduction parts to deliver amazing tonal clarity and response. Used by leading custom guitar makers, these pickups are RWRP, so when using a Tonerider neck and bridge set you can be sure of hum-free operation in the middle position of your three-way switch.
  • High-Grade Alnico II and V Polepieces
  • Our own Tonerider nickel-silver covers in gold and nickel plating - no more dull neck tone!
  • Calibrated winding for even volume balance across all three standard positions.
  • Laser-cut, hand-bevelled flatwork.
  • USA-made vintage hook-up wire for easy installation.
  • Latex tubing and nickel-plated screws are included with every pickup.
  • Tradition string wound bridge with copper-plated steel baseplate
  • All coils scatterwound on our 999-step CNC winding machines.
  • All coils wax-potted to avoid feedback at high-gain settings.
  • All sets are RWRP - offering noiseless operation in the "mid" position

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.
