In today's video, I am checking out a set of Tonerider Apex Classic Noiseless pickups. I test how these sound clean, for blues, and higher-gain tones. Additionally, I talk about how these pickups compare to other noiseless pickups I've owned over the years. The Tonerider Apex Classic pickups sound better than my old Fender Hot Noiseless Pickups, Zexcoil, and D'Allen Pickups, while retaining the classic single-coil design.

Official Blub:
The Apex Classic allows players to enjoy breathtaking vintage Strat tone - rich with detail and with bell-like chime, but without the hum.
From stage to studio, our twin coil design allows for the natural movement of the strings to be unimpeded. The Apex Classic doesn't have the harsh, nasal sound of many other hum-cancelling pickups. This breakthrough design delivers superb tone, even in the hard to recreate "quack" positions (2 and 4).
