I've been using this pickup for 6 months on a Fender Telecaster '72 Custom.

I didn't want to spend a lot of money or choose a standard Seymour or DiMarzio. I also found boutique pickups too expensive.
So I surfed the web and found the manufacturer/distributor TONERIDER.
I placed and order and received the product after three days. I immediately felt confident as I held the pickup in my hand. The manufacturing quality is perfect.
It's an excellent pickup and it would be unfair to compare it to the original pickup of the guitar. The higher output level is conceived for blues-rock. The sound has a punchy low end, a smooth and clear high-end, very present mids and it retains the typical twang of the traditional Tele bridge pickup. The tone is not harsh or overly brilliant, and there is absolutely no noise.

I even prefer it to the Fender Texas Special which I used before.

The crunch sound with an old tube amp is a real joy (isn't it Mr Keith Richards?)!!
I recommend it to all guitarists who want to upgrade their US or Mexican Tele without spending too much money.
