Handwound Pickups
Nebraska, USA
Wow! Just…. WOW! These are hands down, some of the best tele pickups I’ve ever played! I threw them into a Barncaster I built with reclaimed pine and a gorgeous Wenge neck wired to a 4-way switch with a treble bleed circuit and what I got was the ULTIMATE studio guitar! I’ve never had such a dynamic and versatile guitar and these pickups sound absolutely incredible! The balance between the Alnico 2 & Alnico 5 magnets is astounding. This guitar rings like a piano and the pickups just add the extra oomph that this build needed! I highly recommend this company and I cannot wait to order some more pickups from Tone Hatch!

I design and assemble my own “Partscasters”…been doing so for many years. In that time, I’ve purchased many ‘boutique-style’ pickups. Some have been expensive, a few have been very expensive. I’d exchange every single set with some of your Tone Hatch Pickups. Excellent product, phenomenal price. Thank you for doing what you do!

I love these pickups. They capture all the magic of my beloved vintage Strats, and I feel the same sense of wonder that I felt the first time I ever played a real Strat as a kid.

Completely changed my strat. I WILL be buying from them again.

Thank you so much for making these outstanding pickups for my project telecaster. I am overwhelmed by how great they sound. Wow, I installed them yesterday and they brought my tele to life. I have a lot of telecasters and this one will now be a favorite to play thanks to your efforts.

Tone Hatch "Rude Blues" are the finest pick ups I've ever purchased. I've had Texas Specials in two different guitars, and they always sound scratchy and ear-piercing on the highs, though they are certainly loud enough. The Tone Hatch pups' highs are glassier and do not set my teeth on edge, and their bass and mid-range sound is rich and full even when heavily overdriven. The quality of construction, everything, is amazing. Don't tell them that they are way too cheap

Put these pickups in a cheap Firefly Prince Madcat copy along with a 5 way telecaster switch setup and WOW!!!!!! These pickups are just amazing. Have collected and played vintage and rare guitars for over 50 years, and was blown away with the quality and sound of these. Can honestly say that from now on, any restoration or upgrade will have pickups made by Tone Hatch. You can pay more for others and not get this sound.

Tone Hatch always delivers! Fantastic quality and incredible service. This is a true hidden gem that the savvy players are quickly picking up on... all I can say is buy now! I've purchased for at least 6 guitars and a few just because.. never a bad experience. If you are on the fence, don't wait. Just buy! seriously.

Adam's Tone Hatch pickups are simply the best deal out there, and they sound as good as anything out there as well. Amazing deals for top notch gear. Don't tell Adam! He might raise the price!

This is the real deal. Received yesterday. Installed last night. Great quality, tone and experience. I WILL purchase again. If you're on the fence about them...stop that. Order them...now. You will not be disappointed.

Something real special about these pickups. They’re so “alive” - they pick up the resonant character of the guitar amazingly well. The quality and attention to detail is remarkable. I’ll be back :-)

I want to thank you for making these amazing pickups. I believe they are the best I've ever heard or played. They are not harsh, most Stratocaster pickups have a harshness to them, yours are clear, smooth and have a wonderful "BIG" sound.

Great pickups but even better service.

I'm amazed that hand-wound pickups can be bought at a reasonable price from passionate makers. Very satisfied.
Robert
I replaced the Fender Custom Shop '69 pickups in my Strat with the Rude Blues set. the Rude Blues are just what I was looking for. the '69's were too clean. nice, but too clean. the Rude Blues have the Strat chime but also have enough grunt to them for pushing the amp and giving a great Bluesy tone. I'm very happy with my choice.
