"I'm a Fan..." - Tonerider Custom Shop Services November 22nd, 2007
Dutch musician, Werner Rinia from the band GAIV, used our custom shop services to create his dream strat pickup set for his black Japanese '54 RI. Werner asked for polished round alnico poles with our popular Classic Blues wind, and we were happy to oblige. Here's what Werner has to say about the results: "I installed the custom Tonerider pickups together with an EC midboost, and replaced the saddles with titanium versions and I now have a guitar that amazes me every time I pick it up. Sound is crisp, and unbelievably tight and straight. Strum it, and it's like a harp. Chords are well defined and balanced; better than the Clapton Strat. Or any other that I've played in the past 23 years. Sounds are versatile, deep and clear. Fromkiller highs that don't actually kill because they stay away from anything remotely to do with shrillness, to deep, clear neck tones that go straight through your belly, this beauty will deliver it all. To make a long story short; I've got a winner. I owe Tonerider a lot of thanks for their service, personal attention and -of course- the best pickups I've come across in years. I'm a fan."

Winner of the 2007 Bluestar Award Discovered Tonerider September 12th, 2007
Pete Cornelius and The DeVilles have set the pace for many Aussie touring rhythm & blues bands. It's hard to pin point exactly what these boys are layin' down. Some say it's a mix of vintage West Coast Jump Blues with a Texan backbeat. Some just say it's damn good music! Whatever you want to call it, The DeVilles sure have their roots deep in that early American sound, when hollow-body guitars and fat gas guzzlin' Cadillacs roamed the streets. Pete, winner of the 2007 Bluestar Award is the latest artist to discover Tonerider pickups. He is using our Pure Vintage set to belt out his signature vintage strat blues sound. Catch Pete & the DeVilles back in Australia after US and UK engagements at the Launceston Blues Festival on October 26th. Visit Pete on myspace here.
