Tonerider Apex Classic – Stratocaster Pickup Set If you’ve ever chased that iconic Strat clean bell tone without the hum, the Tonerider Apex Classic delivers. These noiseless-style pickups are built to give you the shimmering clarity, quack in positions 2 & 4, and sparkle of a classic ’50s/’60s Strat... but without the single-coil hiss! What makes them special: Twin-coil design gives full vintage Strat character, but cancels hum thanks to how the coils are arranged; no metal plates blocking magnetic circuits, so you retain clarity instead of getting that harsh nasal edge. Low-profile height (≈ 20 mm) so they fit vintage and modern Strat cavities without routing. Wound to match the polarity used in many humbuckers, soapbars, P90s etc — so phase-matching with other brands is easier. If needed, you can swap start / finish wires to correct phase. Uses standard Strat covers (not tall custom ones), plus comes with deep pearl white nylon covers. Includes two styles of screws (panhead + countersunk) so you can mount cleanly regardless of what pickguard your Strat has. Tech specs at a glance: Magnets: Alnico V for neck, middle and bridge< DCR: approx 6.3k for neck and middle, 7.0k for bridge Inductance: 2.3 H (neck & middle), 2.8 H bridge Stagger options: Right, Left, or Flat pole pieces, depending on your string gauge/preference. Why pick them: If you want that classic Strat “bite & jangle” but also need performance on stage without background hum, these are a great upgrade. Fantastic for recording, cleans, light overdrive — pretty much wherever you want clarity + character.
