Tonerider Birmingham pickups ‘Matt Robinson’

Trying out my new Birmingham set.
These are alnico 5 and slightly hotter than my alnico ii classics. They are tighter and take higher gain better without getting flubby.
They seem to have a bit more high end presence and mid punch that works well for the rockier stuff but still have that classic P.A.F vibe.
I actually love the split coil sounds, very southern rock sounding with a bit of gain yet clean up nicely to where my les Paul rivals my strat cleans.
