Micros Humbuckers P&Pickups

The PAF 59 : A range of humbuckers made with tradition.

P&Pickups, it's some scatter-winding pickups handmade in my little workshop of the north of France. I use traditional components coming for a major part from the USA. These humbuckers are build like it was in the late 50's : plain enamel wire and Alnico magnets (selected and magnetized by myself). I build them with a 4 wire shield which allows you to wire your humbucker as you want (split, phase etc.). You can order it with or without chrome cover, Alnico 2 or Alnico 5 magnets, 2 wire or 4 wire shield. The covers and baseplates are made of nickel / argent. Bridge and Neck versions are available.

You can purchase these pickups on the P&P online shop.

Alnico 2

This is probably the sweetest one. The Alnico 2 magnet has less magnetic power, which gives you a fantastic sustain. This pickup sounds percussive and produce a lot of dynamics. Warm lows, sweet highs... It's the perfect replica of the Gibson PAF, wired with the same Plain Enamel copper. Very versatile, it allows you to play different style of music with a preference for the Blues-Rock. .

They are recommended for blues, blues rock, country, jazz, funk, reggae, indie, pop, britpop, classic rock.

Specs :
Résistance : 7,7 - 8K.

Available with or without chrome cover, bridge or neck version.

Alnico 5

This is the version with a stronger magnet. Incisive sound with a great output level. Bass and high frequencies are more present. It is still wired with Plain Emanel copper. Coils are identical to the Alnico 2 model. Only the magnet has changed. This pickup is designed to play Rock, hard rock and metal. Clean sounds are great too as you can hear by watching the video.

They are recommended for country, blues, psyché, funk, indie, reggae, pop, classic rock.
