59 SB-PAF Humbucker Humbucker

59 SB-PAF Humbucker HumbuckerWhere do you start with the PAF? Well, theres our low wind 57 set of course but what about if you want some more classic burst bark and punch? Well, these are our answer. Maintaining our typical goal of clarity, sweetness and musicality we add a rough cast Alnico IV magnet to the bridge pickup for some extra high end grit, alongside a very even low mid 8k output to round things out.

The 63 Fat AV set was born out of a desire to create a classic early 60s Alnico V set

you have likely enjoyed the “Custom AIV” Set

In order to compensate for the change in bobbin dimensions we employ a few little tricks and tweaks to get as close as we possibly can to the soapbar/dogear version

Originally it came about as an order from a great customer and Tele obsessive

Based around the wind style of the earliest Geo Stevens winder used during PAF production in Kalamazoo

Tonally based on the exceptionally open and rich sound of the classic mid 50s Strat

The T-Twin is a pickup that was a huge surprise

The pickups are a key element of this early genius of guitar design and this set represents our take on the earliest form (pssst: they are our favourites as well)

all dutifully reproduced

and the poles-screws also take a drop in scale

there’s our low-wind 57 set of course but what about if you want some more classic burst bark and punch

Firebird-type pickups are both special and criminally underrated
