In today's video I test the Tonerider APEX Blackguard pickups. The APEX Blackguard pickups are not only affordable Fender Telecaster replacement pickups, but they are 100% noiseless? In this video, I talk about how they sound against my long-term JBE (Joe Barden) Danny Gatton pickups that were in the Tele for over 15-years!
