Q: Are these Ceramic or Alnico?

Alnico III magnets. Excellent pickups

Q: knowing that they're single coils, how quiet are they with overdrive or slight distortion? or better I get a humbucker?

They're obviously not going to be as quiet as humbuckers, but they're definitely among the quieter single coils I've used. If you get in the habit of rolling your guitar volume off when you aren't playing you'll be fine. They're great pickups.

Q: What size potentiometers works best for the tonerider trt2?

250k is what you use for single coil pickups. I have put in many of the Tonerider Pups. Always 250k Pots.

Top Quality at a Perplexingly Cheap Price

I actually returned these but let me explain: I have a Telecaster Standard 2013 and I replaced the stock pick-ups with these. The Tone-Riders were as good....maybe a shade better but not enough in sound difference to justify the swap over. I went over to a Broadcaster Lindy Fralin set which are a bit thicker - and 4 times as expensive mind you.The reason for the 5 stars is that if you have a cheaper guitar that you want to cheaply upgrade with near boutique quality pick-ups then you absolutely can't do no wrong with these - you will get a set matching or slightly improving Fender stock pick-ups. Top marks to Tone Rider for producing such quality at this price.

Great pickups at an amazing price.

These are great pickups at an amazing price and British ( although made in China ). I have put these in several clients Telecasters and people are always happy with them, great value and very well made. Check out their website for details and sound samples.

Top Notch Pick-ups

This is my first set of these pick-ups as I normally by Vintage Plus pick-ups by Tonerider. Once again I am impressed by the quality. The offer a slightly warmer sound to the Vintage Plus pick-ups, slightly rounder, if you like. I have them in a roadworn Tele and they just sound fantastic. Great for classic rock over drive sounds and sound really good clean too. I'll buy these again.

The Tokai was already pretty good, but now sounds a lot fuller/beefier

Fitted a set of these to my 1983 Tokai BreezySound, and what a difference. The Tokai was already pretty good, but now sounds a lot fuller/beefier. I play it through a Zoom pedal board and my home made Tweed Champ clone - I love playing Jazz/blues (chord melody), but don't like things too smooth. I love the edge that these pickup have brought to my sound, without sounding at all muddy. All in all, I think these are very good value for mutants...
