I just learned about a fairly new company from China called Tonerider that specializes in vintage style pickups designed by Brad Ferguson as well as a new line of effects pedals. I just recently put a new Seymour Duncan single coil pickup to replace the fairly weak EMG in my Steinberger Spirit and I wish I'd heard of Tonerider a few months ago. I probably would have gone with their Classic Blues single coil instead. Nothing wrong with the Duncan, but it would have been an opportunity to try something different. They've also got "lefty" pickups coming on May 15. Heck, I didn't even know there was such a thing!
Has anyone else used Toneriders? The reviews look good, but right now there's not that many dealers stocking them. Still, they appear to be well-designed and a good value. Maybe I'll check out one of the effects pedals in the coming months. Too bad I didn't know about these guys earlier. Heck I was on vacation in China last year; I could have done a factory visit!

Hi, They are actually designed by Andrew Cunningham. Brad Ferguson designed the effects.
Cheers
