PAF 59: a range of traditional double coil pickups.

P&Pickups are hand-wound (scatter winding) pickups that I hand-wound in the North of France. I use components that conform to tradition, mostly coming from the USA. This range of double-coil pickups takes up the specificities of the original humbucker created by Gibson at the end of the 50s: two coils filled with Plain Enamel wire and Alnico magnets selected and magnetized by me. On the wiring side, they are assembled with a 4-wire sheath + a ground braid allowing any type of assembly (split, phase / out of phase etc.). Different versions exist: neck or bridge version, with or without cover, Alnico 2 or Alnico 5, 4-wire or 2-wire sheath (on request). The covers and chassis (baseplates) are made of nickel / silver, a guarantee of high quality and musicality.

PAF 59 Alnico 5

This version benefits from a more powerful magnet, giving the sound an incisive side with a higher output volume, a more muscular attack and reinforced bass and treble. It is wound with Plain Enamel as for the Alnico 2 version. Only the magnet changes. These sonic characteristics make it ideal for rock, hard rock and metal. The clean sounds are not left out as you can hear in the video.

They are very suitable for country, blues, psych, funk, indie, reggae, pop, classic rock.

Available with or without cover, in bridge or neck version, 2 or 4 wires.

Technical characteristics:

Resistance between 7.8 and 8.2K.
