How would these pickups differ as far as sound characteristics from tone aligners with the exception of the individual pole adjustments. I know they are both very good pickups.

Morton, OK, both brands are great pick-ups. You can re-EQ your amp to obtain many differn't sounds, but my Tone-Aleigners sound more like a single coil that I'm use to hearing. The Alumitones have a great reputation. You can do a Forum search and read the reviews. I simply prefer the ToneAleigners for my personal sound.

I put Alumitones on a GFI D-10 keyless that I sold some time ago. They were a great improvement over the humbuckers that originally came with the guitar.

I have Alumitones in my Williams S12 and my Millennium-they sound great on both.

Do the cartridges on these work on an old Sierra?

Bruce, they only fit MSA guitars.

Thanks, Duane! Jim Palenscar is sending me a Sierra P/U sled, so I'll either successfully install a Tru-Tone, or order an Alumitone....

I have been a hard core single coil guy forever. I was hesitant to try the Alumitone as I had tried all the others, GL, BL and Tone AlignersI . But reluctantly I gave the Alumitones a shot mow I'm hooked. Can't even go back to single coils. Wish I had then in all my guitars. I'm building a wood neck SD10 Legend and it will have an Alunitone. My two cents. Don't like the Tone Aliners at all.

Does anyone have sound samples, or links to sound samples, that compare the Alumitones to Tone Aligners and/or other pickups?

I was dedicated to Trutone single coils until I heard the alumitone. I now have both configured for my MSA M3 and once I A/B'd them, it was alumitone forever after! At first I would pop in the single coil for raunchier blues tunes, but frankly the alumitone sounds good in every context I've used it.
