The Epitome of PAF Goodness. These pickups are loaded with Alnico 3 magnets the lowest output of all the commonly used alnico magnets which are then hand-wound with a slightly denser winding to provide enhanced output. Any PAF aficionado steeped in the history of Gibsons most popular pickup design might point out that this is not the standard setup for a PAF and they would be correct! PAF windings and materials varied dramatically throughout the years resulting in hordes of different PAF pickups with wildly different constructions. That being said Custombuckers capture the true soul of the PAF excelling in what Sweetwaters vintage Gibson fanatics find to be its defining characteristics: unmatched articulation an open and airy quality plenty of body and an incredibly dynamic feel. If youre after an uncompromisingly vintage-style humbucker tone these are as close as you can get to late-’50s PAF without paying exorbitant vintage prices! Exceptionally authentic replication of a late 50s PAF humbucker. Low-output Alnico 3 magnet design boosts articulation and clarity. Hand-wound wire is wrapped slightly denser than a typical vintage humbucker compensating for the Alnico 3s low output and providing a classic PAF bite. Unpotted design thats true to the original PAF.
