The “Improved” Fifties Humbucker.
A superb set for guitars that need more warmth and more sustain.
The earliest Gibson Patent-Applied-For (or “PAF”) pickups used a range
of magnets, but PAFs made with Alnico II have always held a special
place in many a guitarist’s heart. If you have ever heard someone
describe a PAF as “flute-like” or “more like a single coil than a
humbucker - then that’s the Alnico II working its magic.
We made a few of these pickups back in 2007 and they quickly became
favorites, and continued with custom orders for guitarmakers throughout
2008. Now, the Alnico II Classic set is back as an affordable addition
to our range. Dealers will have stock in late April.
